Sector
Energy & compliance for retail and shopping centres
Roll-out friendly programmes for high-street, big-box and shopping-centre estates.
Retail portfolios live and die on consistency: every store needs the same compliance bar, the same lighting and HVAC standards, and the same MEES trajectory — without disrupting trade. We deliver TM44, EPCs, ESOS and energy audits at portfolio scale, with reporting that landlords, asset managers and operations directors can all read from.
Sector pain points we solve
The challenges that come up over and over again on retail & shopping centres estates — and the angles we take on them.
MEES exposure on let units
F/G ratings already block lettings; the proposed C (2027) and B (2030) thresholds put a large share of existing retail stock at risk of becoming unlettable without intervention.
Trading-hours disruption
HVAC, lighting and metering surveys must work around opening hours, deliveries and customer experience — generic surveyors rarely scope around this.
Variable store standards
Acquired estates inherit mixed plant, mixed controls and mixed records — making compliance and energy strategy harder than the floor area suggests.
Service-charge scrutiny
Tenants challenge energy and FM costs more aggressively; landlords need defensible data and a credible reduction plan.
What we deliver
A joined-up programme of compliance and advisory work, sized to the sector's realities.
