MEES Compliance

EPC compliance checks and recommendations

All building owners and landlords need to know how efficient their property portfolio is to ensure they meet the minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES). Any building without an EPC or with an EPC rating lower than the new minimum standard ‘E’ rating must be reviewed and measures implemented to improve the overall energy performance of the building.

While it is mandatory to meet the current minimum standards, there is a proposed phased implementation of the EPC B target for 2030, with an interim EPC of C required by 2027. These targets are coupled to two-year compliance windows – April 1st 2025 – March 31st 2027 for EPC C and April 1st 2028 – 31st March 2030 for EPC B.

MEP Concepts are experts in the assessment of buildings’ energy performance, routinely advising our clients on building performance and the methods available to effectively improve an EPC rating. We can work with you to ensure that your buildings are compliant with not only the current requirements but also future-proof to meet the upcoming MEES regulation requirements.

Where we can assist

Concept & Planning

Our assessor can simulate and develop advanced energy modelling. Evaluate grid flexibility and connection modelling, vitally important with the impact of electrification of heat. In-house whole system energy modelling: PV, battery, EV charging, heat pumps, DH networks as well.

Development & Delivery

Considered, proven, and practical mechanical, electrical, and public-health design solutions are developed in conjunction with the wider project design team and supported by a professional and reliable delivery process.

Support & Optimisation

Dedicated director lead Engineering, Property Services and Performance teams, ensure every project performs in operation as initially designed, and optimised to improve the lifecycle of all buildings, new and old.
