Now that Jacob Rees-Mogg has been appointed as Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, we might finally learn whether the government will continue as planned with the提出的措施提高最低能源效率标准(MEE)for non-domestic buildings to EPC ‘B’ or above by 2030.

如果确实进行,除非豁免,否则以EPC为“ C”或更低的英格兰和威尔士的任何非家庭财产将变得非法。有许多潜力豁免的原因,但这些尚未确认。

This regulation would reflect the UK government’s intent to drive sizable reductions in the environmental impact of real estate to deliver on the legally binding到2050年净零承诺

政府估计在英格兰和威尔士各地都有180万个非家庭场所。其中约有110万(60%)被租用,因此属于MEES的范围。确保所有这些在不到八年的时间内具有EPC或B或以上是一个雄心勃勃的目标。

由于2008年推出了EPC,因此只发出了119,000个“ B”或更高的EPC。这仅是新MEE会影响总股票的11%。因此,如果所有股票在2030年达到所需的标准,则发行的EPC的“ B”或更高EPC的数量必须大大增加。

为了探索商业房地产如何实现这一目标,CBRE预测了EPC发行最多可达2030年。此预测并不考虑豁免。

Figure 1 shows the number of EPCs ‘B’ or above that we expect would be issued annually if issuance continues to increase at the average rate over the last 5 years (19%), represented by the light green bars.

以这种速度,在2030年,所有非家庭股票中有60%的EPC为“ C”或更低,使其无法解释。

“一切照旧”显然是不够的meet the 2030 target. So, what would it take? The dark green bars in Figure 1 show that the necessary annual rate of increase in issuance of EPC ‘B’ or higher must be at least 41% if the 2030 target is to be met. To achieve this, over 340,000 ‘B’ or higher EPCs would need to be issued in 2030 alone. That’s over 20 times more than were issued in 2021.

有一些积极的迹象。我们一年前与CBRE客户分享的预测(图1中的灰色条代表)表明,在2020年底,到2030年,70%的股票在2030年都无法解释。我们对上面介绍的2021个数据的分析因此,建议翻新时有明显的加速度。

但是,如果该法规按计划进行,仍然必须做很多事情才能满足拟议的2030年截止日期。EPC“ B”或更高的年度增加(在过去5年中)必须两倍多。这意味着房东必须将建筑物实施能源效率提高的速度增加一倍以上,以避免从2030年起面临明显的租金收入风险。
