Priten Patel, founder of Trishul Consulting, is honoured to have attended to an insightful event last Wednesday, July 12, 2024, focused on the advantages of creating an outstanding workplace in talent attraction and retention and the evolving Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) standards.
Key Takeaways:
- New EPC Requirements: By 2028, all commercial buildings must achieve Grade C, and by 2030, Grade B, involving significant upgrades in airflow, heating, and insulation.
- Regional Readiness: Northern England and Wales show lower readiness, with many cities projected to struggle in meeting these standards. Political and industry collaboration is essential to ensure all regions can meet future EPC benchmarks.
- Employee Retention: The event highlighted the crucial link between workplace environment and employee experience, stressing the importance of creating enjoyable, productive, and community-driven workspaces. Collaborative efforts in workplace design can foster innovation, knowledge sharing, and higher office utilisation rates.
This event highlighted the urgent need for holistic approaches to workplace design and policy-making to achieve a bright future for commercial spaces in the UK. It was an invaluable experience discussing how we can collectively enhance building efficiency and support economic activities across all regions.
Together, let’s create a sustainable and efficient future for our commercial spaces!
