To help combat climate change, globally agreed targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions have led to the introduction of a wide range of energy legislation. Since business activities in the UK account for around half of all emissions in the country, companies now have a legal obligation to improve energy efficiency.

Navigating an increasingly complex legislative landscape isn’t easy though. It takes specialist knowledge, time and resources that many businesses simply don’t have. And that’s why My Energy Consultants provides an energy compliance service to ensure customers meet all their obligations and avoid financial penalties.

My Energy Consultants’ range of energy compliance services covers:.

For large UK businesses (more than 250 staff or a turnover greater than £40m) the mandatory Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) requires them to undertake an annual energy efficiency audit. My Energy Consultants will handle it for you, measuring the total energy consumption and identifying the measures you can take to save energy and enhance your sustainability credentials.

In accordance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, any commercial property that’s built, sold or let in the UK after 2008 is legally required to display an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). My Energy Consultants will carry out the site surveys, issue the EPC and provide an advisory report detailing improvements that can be made to improve your energy performance in the future.

Introduced in 2019, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requires large UK businesses to disclose annual energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency initiatives in their annual reports. My Energy Consultants will undertake all requisite analyses and make the recommendations you need to comply.

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) was introduced in 2018. In simple terms, the legislation means that it’s illegal to grant new leases or renew leases for any commercial property with an EPC rating lower than E (i.e. F or G). My Energy Consultants will conduct a site audit to determine how energy is currently being used and identify the measures to take to improve a building’s EPC rating with a projected payback period.
