How LightShelf UK's passive daylighting systems directly improve your commercial property's regulatory compliance and green building certifications.
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) requires commercial properties in England and Wales to meet a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E or above. Properties that fall below this threshold cannot legally be let or sold without an exemption.
LightShelf UK's daylighting systems directly improve your EPC score by reducing the building's reliance on artificial lighting — one of the largest energy consumers in commercial spaces. This translates to a measurable improvement in your MEES compliance position.
*Results vary by property. Figures shown are illustrative based on typical commercial retrofit projects.
*Point estimates are indicative. Final points depend on overall project certification level.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program used worldwide. It provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.
LightShelf and SunShelf systems contribute to multiple LEED credit categories by improving daylighting, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing indoor environmental quality for building occupants.
When MEES compliance and LEED certification work together, your property becomes more valuable, lettable, and sustainable.
Properties with strong EPC ratings and LEED certification command higher rental yields and sale prices.
Stay ahead of tightening UK energy regulations with a passive system that performs for decades.
Reduced lighting and cooling demand means lower energy bills year after year.
