Future-proof commercial buildings: requirements and recommendations (EPC NR, Energy audit, PV panels)

As the landscape of commercial real estate evolves, understanding the requirements for future-proof buildings is increasingly critical. With rising demands for energy efficiency, sustainability, and employee well-being, it is essential for building owners and managers to stay informed about upcoming standards and obligations.

Essential requirements: 

  • EPC standards: From 2024, large non-residential buildings must meet stringent EPC requirements, with the goal of achieving energy neutrality by 2050. 
  • Solar panel obligations: Offices exceeding 100 m² are mandated to install solar panels by deadlines set between 2025 and 2035, contributing to CO2 emissions reduction and promoting renewable energy. 
  • Energy audits: Organizations with high energy consumption must conduct regular audits to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with efficiency standards. 
  • Sustainable practices: Beyond compliance, it is advisable to implement sustainable materials, water-saving measures, and create a healthy work environment to enhance energy savings and employee well-being. 

By understanding and addressing these requirements, organizations can ensure their commercial buildings are prepared for the future. Prioritizing the transition to future-proof buildings not only meets legal obligations but also positions your organization as a proactive leader in sustainability. With our expertise and tailored support, we are here to help you navigate these challenges effectively and confidently.
