What is MEES?

MEES refers to a set of Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards that the Government has established for commercially-let properties.

New MEES rules will prohibit landlords from renewing or granting a new lease for more than six months, if the property’s EPC rating is lower than ‘F’. Any lower than that will result in the landlord being liable for a significant fine.

What you need to know and what to do

You must bring your commercial and domestic properties up to the required standards if they do not comply with the MEES regulations.

  • Step 1: Evaluate the EPC Rating of Your Property Stock – List All Properties with an EPC Rating of E, F, or G.
  • Step 2: Complete a MEES Compliance advisory Report to help us identify the best improvement opportunities. Our accredited Energy Assessors will analyze the EPC and remodel it. This technical desktop review will help us take into account any improvements your property might require.
  • 3rd Step – Detail remodelling and analysis with an improvement plan (MEES Compliance Report) Once we have established your current situation, we can make customized recommendations to improve the energy efficiency of your property. We can adjust the cost, payback period, and personal preferences using our remodelling tool.
  • Step 4: Making the improvements. Once we have made the improvements, we can arrange the survey of your property.
  • Note: EPCs that were created before April 2012 are not possible to re-model. However, they still have validity. The EPC engine has been updated to include major updates on energy efficiency calculations.
