Commercial Building EPC Deadlines

The EPC deadline is looming: by 2028, all commercial buildings will need an EPC of C or above, and by 2030, the minimum requirement will be a rating of B. This means that in five years’ time, no building with a rating lower than the legal requirement can be leased or sold. This will result in any non-compliant property becoming a stranded asset.

Commercial EPC Roadmap

In principle, the roadmap to making a commercial property EPC compliant with the upcoming minimum requirements is fairly straightforward. The process can be split into three distinct parts:
1 | Obtain an EPC certification.
2 | Identify necessary upgrades.
3 | Schedule in works to meet the 2028 & 2030 deadlines.

However, there are obstacles at each stage that make obtaining an EPC for commercial property more complicated:

Text-based graphic listing the three basic steps to EPC compliance, also listing a major limitation of each step. Step 1: Obtain an EPC certification, these provide no indication on how to upgrade your EPC. Step 2: Identify necessary upgrades, suggestions from consultants don't include accurate cost & plan information. Step 3: Schedule in works to meet the 2028 & 2030 deadlines, works typically cannot be planned as far as five years in advance.

It is a legal requirement for a building to have an EPC rating at point of sale or lease. So, it is likely most landlords and portfolio managers already have an EPC report. The problem is that very few of these reports provide a landlord or portfolio manager with specific information on how to upgrade their assets to comply with the various levels of EPC, let alone any cost or programme information.
