Non-Domestic MEES: Government Confirms EPC B Target for Larger Commercial Buildings

After years of regulatory limbo, last week the Government finally published an interim response to its 2019 and 2021 consultations on non-domestic MEES.  The update confirmed a target of EPC B for larger commercial buildings (measuring over 1,000 sq m) in England and Wales from 2031. This builds on the announcements at the end of 2025, that the next rung in the MEES ladder for the domestic sector would be EPC C by 2030. It is significant that this will be the first time since the regime was introduced that non-domestic MEES has not tracked the same target as domestic MEES (albeit on a delayed basis).
