The UK government now requires all commercial properties to achieve an EPC rating of B or above by 2030. Without action, buildings risk becoming unmarketable and effectively stranded. MPG's new Net Zero consultancy service helps owners and investors prepare with a clear, costed roadmap to compliance — and beyond.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are central to reducing CO₂ emissions. Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) already require EPC E or better; by 2030, legislation will demand EPC B or better. With London alone holding 287 million ft² of office space and only 4–5 million ft² currently upgraded each year, around 200 million ft² must be improved by 2030.
Our Future-Proof Now Consultancy Service offers two packages:
- COMPLIANCE — a Gap Analysis report with an itemised, costed list of upgrades needed to achieve EPC B by 2030 and ensure business continuity.
- COMPLIANCE PLUS — everything in COMPLIANCE, plus an additional costed list of efficiency upgrades and expert retrofit guidance to reduce energy consumption, running costs and maximise future letting potential.
Our three-step pathway begins with a free video consultation, followed by survey and data collection (site visit, 3D modelling, EPC review and energy analysis), and concludes with a clear, itemised and costed roadmap.
Services include fabric review, EPC certification, BIM modelling, full architectural design, building performance analysis, MEP appraisal and design, façade performance review, interior design (CAT A & B), embodied carbon calculations, cost planning, life cycle costing and contract administration.
Research shows a 11–15% uplift in value for sustainable buildings. EPC compliance is just the start — tenants and investors increasingly demand workplaces that meet ESG standards. MPG translates climate goals into actionable plans that reduce energy costs, improve sustainability credentials and maximise property value.
