Commercial EPC in Islington

Islington has become one of London’s most important commercial districts outside the traditional City and West End core. The stretch from Angel through to Old Street and the Silicon Roundabout area forms the heart of London’s tech and creative sector, with demand for commercial EPCs driven by frequent leasing activity among fast-growing businesses. Clerkenwell adds a premium office and design market, while Upper Street and Holloway Road provide significant high street retail.

The commercial property in Islington is characterised by a mix of converted Victorian and Edwardian buildings alongside purpose-built modern offices. Many of the converted buildings present interesting challenges for commercial EPC assessments — multi-level former workshops and warehouses with unusual floor plates, mixed heating systems, and complex zoning requirements. This is where our DesignBuilder-based modelling approach proves its worth, producing accurate 3D representations of buildings that don’t fit neatly into standard templates.

Islington’s commercial landlords are also increasingly conscious of MEES implications, particularly for older buildings around Angel and Holloway that may sit close to the E/F boundary. Our ability to switch between SBEM and DSM methodologies means we can often find a more favourable — and more accurate — rating for these borderline buildings.
