The position in car parks (24hr)
This category sits within the non-domestic MEES regime in England and Wales. The E minimum applies now, and buildings over 1,000 m² are expected to need EPC B by 2031.
The pattern across most categories is the same: lighting, controls and air-tightness deliver the first points cheaply, and the expensive measures are fabric and plant.
This category accounts for 0.0% of all commercial certificates on the register. 8 properties are rated F or G – below the minimum that has applied to lettings since April 2023 – and 7 have an expired certificate that was rated F or G when issued.
The largest concentrations are in Westminster, Lambeth, Camden, Tower Hamlets, Leeds, Manchester.
