Upcoming UK regulation changes require non domestic buildings to be EPC C rated by 2027 & EPC B rated by 2030 and it’s expected that non domestic rented buildings would be required to achieve the EPC C rating by 2030.
PSH, Darling Associates Architects (DAA) and Dalbergia provide a combined MEP, architectural and cost solution for your building to the upcoming Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations and any buildings with the desire to achieve Net Zero. Within the tabs below are processes that we use to improve your building.
The assessment will ensure that your assets are at the forefront of the rental and sales markets, PSH, DAA and Dalbergia can provide a comprehensive design analysis including setting out a programme of works. This will prevent duplication of upgrades, reducing cost and time on site to create a more desirable asset to future tenants and adding long term value.

STAGE 1
EPC Assessment / The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
The UK Regulation Changes in the form of The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) require non-domestic buildings to be EPC C rated by 2027 & EPC B rated by 2030, or provide a valid exemption. Landlords can be fined up to £150,000 where they have breached regulations.
PSH, DAA and Dalbergia have created a two stage assessment process to work with you to meet and surpass these regulatory requirements and then go above and beyond to Net Zero.
