In short
Lighting efficiency affects a building's EPC rating, so LED upgrades can help commercial landlords move towards minimum energy efficiency standards.
Energy Performance Certificates consider how much energy a building's services use, including lighting.
Why lighting matters
Inefficient lighting increases modelled energy use. Moving to efficient LED can improve the assessment.
Minimum standards
Commercial landlords in England and Wales must meet minimum energy efficiency standards to let property. Check current requirements with an energy assessor.
Retrofit as a route
Retrofit can deliver lighting improvements without full replacement.
