Join the City of London Corporation’s Climate Action team on 12th November for an interactive event, where you’ll have the opportunity to discuss and share feedback on how they can support your decarbonisation journey.
The City of London Corporation is hosting this workshop to introduce forthcoming changes to non-domestic building energy performance requirements, what they could mean for buildings across the Square Mile, and to share how the City Corporation is looking to support compliance. Most importantly, they want to hear your views to ensure any future support is practical, targeted, and aligned with real-world needs.
The City Corporation has adopted a target for the Square Mile to reach net zero by 2040 and improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings will play a critical role in achieving this ambition. At the same time, proposed changes to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are expected to increase energy performance requirements for many non-domestic buildings in the coming years. The latest Government update is for all privately rented buildings over 1,000m2 needing an EPC B from 2031, where cost effective – this may affect more than 65% of buildings in the Square Mile.
The City Corporation is exploring how it can best support building owners, occupiers and the wider property market to improve building performance and prepare for future requirements. This workshop is designed to gather views from those responsible for managing, investing in, occupying and advising on buildings across the Square Mile.
This session will cover:
- The City Corporation’s net zero ambitions and the role of buildings in achieving a net zero Square Mile
- The latest proposals for non-domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and what they could mean for Square Mile buildings
- What the City Corporation is exploring to support Square Mile buildings with compliance
- Breakout discussions where stakeholders can feedback and help shape future support and engagement activities
