Beyond MEES, a property business faces a second layer of energy regulation: schemes that require assessing, reporting and inspecting rather than hitting a standard. ESOS audits, SECR disclosures and TM44 air-conditioning inspections all exist elsewhere on this platform as general obligations; what this lesson adds is the property twist, because in a multi-let building the recurring question for every scheme is the same one the split incentive taught you to ask: whose energy is it, the landlord's or the tenant's?
