Vale Energies keeps UK commercial buildings on the right side of energy law — and turns every regulation into lower bills, lower carbon and buildings that simply run better.
Letting a commercial building below EPC E is now unlawful. ESOS demands action plans, not paperwork. SECR puts your energy use in the annual report, where your board and your auditors read it. And the proposed 2030 standards will raise the bar again.
Most facilities teams are expected to manage all of this on top of the day job — with energy prices that punish every wasted kilowatt and buildings that were never metered properly in the first place.
That is the job we take off your desk. One partner who audits the estate, keeps every certificate current, watches the meters, and only ever recommends work that pays for itself.
Commercial property below EPC E cannot lawfully be let, even under existing leases.
Large undertakings must audit, publish an action plan, and report progress against it.
Energy and carbon figures go in the annual accounts. Estimates don’t survive scrutiny.
Government has consulted on raising the minimum to EPC B by 2030. The earlier you move, the cheaper it is.
We survey your sites and map where every kilowatt goes. Facts first — no generic checklists.
EPCs, DECs, ESOS, SECR, TM44 — brought up to date, filed and evidenced. Audit-ready all year round.
Live metering on every major load. You see what your buildings are doing as it happens — so waste has nowhere to hide.
We recommend only the works that pay for themselves. If the payback isn’t there, we say so.
Top-rated, vetted contractors carry out the works. We manage them end to end. You keep one point of contact.
Each instrument has its own cycle, assessor and deadline. We track all of them, for every building on your estate.
| Instrument | Applies to | Cycle | Our job |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEES | Let commercial property | Continuous | Keep every building lettable — and ahead of the next threshold. |
| EPC | All non-domestic buildings | 10 years | Renewed before they lapse. Never after. |
| DEC | Public buildings over 250 m² | Annual | Lodged on schedule, without chasing. |
| ESOS | Large undertakings | 4 years | Audits and action plans, evidenced properly. |
| SECR | Large companies | Annual | Carbon reporting that stands up in the accounts. |
| TM44 | Air-conditioning over 12 kW | 5 years | Inspections logged and lodged. |
Every measure we propose comes with the numbers to justify it: cost, saving, and time to break even. If it doesn’t pay, it doesn’t go in the report.
Real metering data from your own buildings, not industry averages. When your board asks how you know, you’ll have the answer.
We coordinate the assessors, suppliers and contractors so you don’t have to. One point of contact, from first audit to finished works.
Tell us about your sites. We’ll tell you what you’re wasting, what the law requires, and what it’s worth fixing — in plain English, free of charge.
No obligation, no hard sell. If your buildings are already in good shape, we’ll be the first to say so.
