what we do

Energy compliance

The UK’s energy regulations are becoming more demanding, not less. Buildings and organisations that fail to meet their compliance obligations face financial penalties, reputational risk and increasing difficulty attracting ESG-conscious tenants and investors.

We hold ISO 14001, the international environmental management standard, which means our own operations are independently audited for environmental performance. We practice what we advise.

our services

Energy compliances & efficiency

LEGALLY REQUIRED

Energy Performance Certificates

EPCs are a legal requirement for the sale, let or construction of most buildings in the UK. We provide accurate, accredited EPC assessments for commercial and residential properties. Fast turnaround, compliant with current regulations.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS

Display Energy Certificates

DECs are required for public buildings over 250m² that are occupied by public authorities or frequently visited by the public. We provide DEC assessments and the accompanying advisory reports, ensuring your organisation meets its display obligations.

COST REDUCTION

Commercial Energy Audits

A commercial energy audit provides a detailed assessment of how your organisation uses energy. Identifying inefficiencies, recommending improvements and quantifying the cost and carbon savings available. The foundation of any effective energy strategy.

LARGE ORGANISATIONS

ESOS Compliance

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) requires large UK organisations to carry out mandatory energy assessments every four years. We provide ESOS-compliant audits, lead assessor support and notification to the Environment Agency, taking the compliance burden off your team.

BESPOKE ADVICE

Energy Efficiency Consultancy

Beyond compliance, we provide tailored energy efficiency recommendations based on your specific buildings, operations and budget. From LED lighting and heating upgrades to building fabric improvements, practical advice with real payback periods.

NET ZERO

Renewables & Low Carbon

We advise on renewable energy integration, solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and EV charging infrastructure, helping organisations plan and implement low-carbon technologies alongside their compliance and efficiency programmes.

Regulatory compliance

The key regulations your organisation needs to know

Display Energy Certificate

Required annually for public buildings over 250m² and every 10 years for those over 1,000m² used by public authorities or frequently visited by the public.
