Warehouse & Distribution Spaces Facing EPC Compliance Challenges by 2030

Facilities management leaders in the I&L sector, brace yourselves. New Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are set to hit in 2030, potentially rendering 85% of sub-100k sq. ft. warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics hubs unlettable. The mandate? EPC ratings must reach at least a B level.

This imminent regulation presents a unique challenge—retrofitting to meet new standards is costly, disruptive, and often impractical for older facilities. Innovative solutions like rooftop solar and LED lighting upgrades may be part of the fix, but a holistic approach to sustainability is essential for long-term viability.

With 47% of current I&L facilities falling short of the 2027 requirement of a C rating, now’s the time to act. Future-proof your assets and ensure compliance before it’s too late.
