EPC 101: Making Sense of EPCs and MEES Compliance

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are no longer just a box-ticking exercise — they directly impact property value, leasing, acquisitions, refurbishments, and dilapidations.

That’s why we’ve created our EPC 101 video series: a plain-English guide for landlords, investors, and asset managers who need clarity on compliance and strategy.

Watch Chapter 1: Introduction to EPC 101

In this series we’ll cover:

  • What EPCs are, how they’re calculated, and why accuracy matters

  • How EPCs affect sales, acquisitions and portfolio strategy

  • The role of dilapidations, voids, refurbishments, and tenant fit-outs

  • Exemptions — when they apply and how to register them

  • What’s changing in 2026 and beyond

  • Why Level 5 Dynamic Simulation Models and “Model for Life” approaches are the future of compliance

Whether you’re managing a single asset or a nationwide portfolio, our goal is simple: to help you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and stay ahead of regulation.
