Commercial landlords and asset managers face significant uncertainty ahead of expected changes to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). EPC B is the industry's working assumption for all leased commercial property under MEES 2031, but most portfolios have not yet quantified the compliance gap.
Use this tool to assess your MEES exposure in under two minutes. Enter your portfolio size and current commercial EPC ratings and we will estimate your non-compliant assets, indicative retrofit costs, and penalty risk under the current regime.
Enter your commercial portfolio details to assess your EPC compliance exposure, estimate indicative retrofit costs, and understand your risk position ahead of expected legislative change.
Enter how many properties sit in each EPC band. E, F and G are below the expected threshold. C and D may require further improvement depending on how legislation is confirmed. Leave any band blank if not applicable.
C and D rated assets are currently expected to sit above the EPC B threshold but carry regulatory risk if policy tightens or asset condition deteriorates. We recommend a formal gap analysis for all assets below B.
KJ Tait's sustainability engineers deliver end-to-end MEES compliance across portfolios — from EPC gap analysis and energy auditing through to retrofit specification and compliance evidence packs for lenders and boards.
Figures are indicative estimates based on industry benchmarks and published MEES penalty data. Retrofit costs vary significantly by asset type, condition, and specification. This tool does not constitute professional advice — contact KJ Tait Engineers for a formal assessment. The 2030 compliance date is an industry working assumption and has not been confirmed by legislation.
1 Penalty risk is calculated using the current civil penalty structure under MEES regulations in England and Wales: up to £50,000 per breach for properties under 500m², up to £150,000 for properties over 500m². These are maximum figures at enforcer discretion. The future penalty regime for an EPC B threshold has not yet been legislated. Figures are shown for indicative purposes only.
