According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Commercial buildings, including shops, hotels and offices, are responsible for around 13 per cent of total carbon emissions in the UK. This means that commercial buildings have a vital role to play in the struggle against climate change.

 

By increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions, commercial landlords can achieve a rental premium and may even make a significant tax-saving by utilising energy saving fixtures and plant that qualify for enhanced tax allowances.
