Problem
Property owners face challenges in accurately assessing energy performance and identifying cost-effective retrofit solutions to meet evolving regulatory requirements, such as Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). This often leads to inefficient upgrades, unnecessary expenditure, and potential non-compliance with legislation like the upcoming EPC C rating mandate.
Solution
epIMS provides an integrated platform that analyzes property energy performance using a points-based calculation system, similar to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), but with enhanced data inputs and a proprietary algorithm. The service goes beyond standard EPCs to deliver detailed retrofit recommendations, akin to a Retrofit Report, but at a significantly reduced cost and turnaround time. This approach ensures unbiased, evidence-based advice tailored to individual properties, enabling owners to reduce energy bills, lower carbon emissions, and achieve compliance with legislative standards. The platform also facilitates access to grant funding and identifies qualified installers, streamlining the entire energy efficiency improvement process.
Target Audience
The primary customers are landlords and property owners who need to comply with energy efficiency regulations and improve their property's energy performance.
