From MEES compliance to portfolio-wide Net Zero—get a clear, data-driven and actionable plan for your buildings.
Navigating the complexities of Net Zero targets, funding requirements, and new regulations is a challenge for any property owner. Whether you manage a large social housing portfolio, a commercial building facing MEES deadlines, or a listed asset, our feasibility studies provide the clear, data-driven plan you need.
Our three typical feasibility study types are: Portfolio Decarbonisation Studies, Low-Carbon Technology Studies and MEES Compliance Reports.
We move beyond guesswork to deliver an actionable, scalable roadmap that aligns with your budget, your goals and your compliance needs. Find out more about our feasibility studies and read FAQs here.

Why work with us?
Experience
Our retrofit reports have been optimised over time and are the result of numerous iterations and feedback.
They now set the standard for data collection and detail in the industry.
Award-winning
We recently won the Supply Chain Partner of the Year award at the 2025 Unlock Net Zero Awards.
The judges praised our ability to successfully forge strong partnerships, drive innovation and deliver outstanding outcomes.
Speed
We focus on speed, accuracy, and scale when planning large-scale retrofit projects.
Our combined team of on-site assessors and office-based consultancy staff work collaboratively to turn around a high volume of high-quality reports each week.
Pricing
Our rate card prices for all services are reviewed regularly, so we’re confident that you won’t find a better service for a better price anywhere else.
If you think you’ve found one, we’ll either beat or match it.
Support
Navigating the complexity of energy efficiency, decarbonisation and building regulation updates can be complex.
We’ve worked hard to explain a range of topics related to retrofit in plain English to help non-experts get the information they need.

Looking for a fast and reliable Retrofit Feasibility Study in Bristol or nationwide?
Surveying an active shopping centre is logistically complex, but Building Energy Experts handled it with precision. Their report cut through the environmental variables to provide a clear distinction between maintenance quick-wins, like resealing doors, and the capital investment needed for insulation. It provided the exact technical evidence required to inform our roadmap to an EPC B rating and justify the retrofit budget.
Philip Emsley, UEC Energy – Thermographic Survey
I should like to say thank you so much to Rich and the team at Building Energy Experts for their efficiency and helpfulness in completing our commercial EPC survey in record time.
Margarita Hamilton, Walton Castle – Commercial EPC
Assessing a historic property like Walton Castle requires real expertise, and your team delivered exactly that. Not only did they complete this survey with a very quick turnaround but they went above and beyond by providing extra information and guidance which has been extremely helpful.
We are delighted with the final result and once again thank you from both myself and the team at Walton Castle.
We’ve worked with Building Energy Experts to support Part O compliance across our developments and have been consistently impressed with their service. Their team is proactive, knowledgeable, and always on hand to provide clear guidance throughout the design and compliance process. Their reports are thorough yet easy to digest, and their input has been instrumental in helping us meet regulatory requirements without compromising on design. The quality of their reporting and technical advice has made them a valuable partner to our team.

Our 4-Step Feasibility Process
- Discovery & Data Analysis: We start by reviewing your goals, budgets, and existing portfolio data to establish a clear baseline and project scope.
- Assessment & Data Collection: Our approach is data-driven. We start with a desk-based review of your existing data. If data is missing or out-of-date, our qualified assessors conduct detailed on-site surveys and data collection.
- Options Modelling: We model “good, better, best” scenarios, comparing fabric-first approaches with Low/Zero-Carbon technologies to find the optimal solution.
- Strategic Report: You receive a clear, actionable report ready for funding bids, board approval or compliance submission.
Understanding Feasibility Studies: Your Questions Answered
We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our Feasibility Studies to help you decide if one’s right for you.
What is a Retrofit Feasibility Study?
A Retrofit Feasibility Study is an expert, data-driven report that gives you an actionable plan to decarbonise your building(s). It moves you from “what should we do?” to “here is the plan.” It identifies the best measures (e.g., fabric-first, heat pumps, solar), models their impact, and creates a clear roadmap that aligns with your budget and goals, whether for one commercial building or a whole housing portfolio.
What’s the difference between your three study types?
We tailor the study to your specific goal:
– MEES Compliance Report: This is a highly focused “Path to C” (or B) report for commercial landlords. It identifies the most cost-effective route to meet compliance and avoid penalties.
– Low-Carbon Technology Study: This is a specific “what if?” analysis. It answers questions like, “Are heat pumps or solar PV viable for my buildings?” and provides indicative costs and performance data.
– Portfolio Decarbonisation Study: This is our most comprehensive solution for Housing Associations and Local Authorities. It’s a PAS 2035/2038-aligned Net Zero roadmap, providing the archetypal analysis and phased plan you need for large-scale funding bids (like the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund).
How does this study help me win funding bids?
Our Portfolio Decarbonisation Study is designed specifically to support funding applications. It provides the essential, robust evidence that funding bodies need to see, including:
– A portfolio-wide data baseline.
– Representative archetypal analysis.
– A clear, “good, better, best” set of scenarios.
– A credible, phased plan.
This data-led approach demonstrates a “shovel-ready” project, which is critical for a successful application.
We have thousands of properties. Do you need to visit every one?
No. Our “data-driven” process is designed for scale. We always start with a desk-based review of your existing portfolio data (Step 1). From there, we work with you to identify representative “archetypes” (e.g. a 1960s mid-terrace). We then only conduct detailed on-site surveys (Step 2) on a sample of those archetypes. This makes the process much faster, more affordable, and highly scalable.
What do I actually get at the end?
You receive a Strategic Report (Step 4). This is not just a spreadsheet; it’s a clear, actionable plan. It will show you the different scenarios we modelled, the indicative energy savings for each, and a clear, phased implementation plan. The report is designed to be presented to a board, submitted for a funding bid, or given to a Retrofit Coordinator to start work.
What do you need from us to get started?
To provide an accurate quote, the best starting point is any existing data you have. This could include stock condition surveys, existing EPC data, or any previous retrofit assessments. If you don’t have this, don’t worry—our “Discovery” (Step 1) process is designed to help you figure out what you have and what you need. Just get in touch.
