Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement when selling, leasing, or constructing a commercial property in the UK. At Douglas Energy Solutions Limited, we provide accurate, compliant Commercial EPC’s across the UK, helping property owners, landlords and agents meet regulations quickly and efficiently.

What is a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial EPC rates a building’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations to improve performance.

You need a valid EPC when:

  • Selling or leasing a commercial property

  • Constructing a new building

  • Modifying or subdividing an existing space

  • EPCs are valid for 10 years, but must meet current regulatory standards.

Under UK regulations, most commercial properties must achieve a minimum rating of E or above to be legally let.

Failure to comply can result in:

  • Financial penalties

  • Restrictions on leasing your property

We help you understand your rating and identify practical improvements to achieve compliance.

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)

With experience across 600+ building energy audits, we understand commercial properties of all types, including:

  • Offices

  • Industrial units

  • Retail spaces

  • Warehouses

This ensures your EPC is robust, reliable and defensible.

Experienced Energy Assessors

We provide a complete, hassle-free service:

  • On-site property assessment

  • SBEM calculations and modelling

  • EPC certificate lodgement

  • Clear recommendations for improvement

Our process is designed to be efficient, accurate, and fully compliant.

Our Commercial EPC Services

A poor EPC rating can impact property value and lettability.

We go beyond certification by advising on:

  • Cost-effective energy improvements

  • Lighting, HVAC, and insulation upgrades

  • Long-term energy performance strategies

Helping you increase asset value and reduce energy costs.

Improve Your EPC Rating

Proposed MEES changes may require commercial properties to achieve EPC ratings of C by 2027 and B by 2030. Plan ahead now to reduce future compliance costs and protect property value.

  • "We've been working with Douglas Energy Solutions over the last 3 months to help us understand our current energy usage for a large commercial building and move towards future sustainable options. The Energy Audit they have produced for us has been excellent. Great depth of detail, while still being incredibly accessible to those without a deep understanding of the subject. He has also talked us through all the details, ensuring we fully understand the report. His advise throughout the whole process has also been invaluable. We look forward to continuing to work with George on many future projects and would highly recommend his services to anyone that wants fantastic support and advice while navigating any energy projects."
