The position in crown & county courts

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. 41 properties are rated F or G – below the minimum that has applied to lettings since April 2023 – and 30 have an expired certificate that was rated F or G when issued.

The largest concentrations are in Leeds, Southwark, City of London, North Yorkshire, Bradford, Westmorland and Furness.
