Summary:On March 26, The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015 (http://bit.ly/1bxnsOC) brought into force the minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES), introduced by the UK government to meet its obligations under the Energy Act 2011. This is a significant step forward in the drive to make the country's buildings more energy efficient and to reduce carbon emissions from the property sector. The minimum standard applies to both domestic and non-domestic property from Apr 1, 2018. rom that date, a landlord will be unable to let an F or G Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rated commercial property (known as a sub-standard property). Some F and G rated properties fall outside of the scope of MEES, including those that are not required to have an EPC under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012, for example, listed buildings. The penalties for non-compliance are significant, ranging from L2,000-L150,000, based on the rateable value of property.
