Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation has applied to commercial rented buildings since 2018. COP 26 commitments made by the UK Government anticipates the current "E" rating requirement will be raised to "B" for 2030, although recent Government announcements suggest this may be voluntary.

Many commercial real estate owners with older/ converted properties face a significant burden to meet the forthcoming changes.

Social impact: Why purpose-built matters

It's crucial. A building designed and then built with its end-users in mind will be a more dignified, agreeable and functional environment, particularly in a care home which has multiple user groups: Residents, their families and friends; their direct care-providers; and other essential

care home staff.

It's simple. Consider a typical home, or a vital medical facility like a hospital. These aren't converted from another use. More often than not it would limit suitability, usefulness and ambience. The correct environment can have a positive impact on the emotional wellbeing of the resident, particularly those with dementia.

The descriptors 'purpose-built' and 'modern' are often used broadly with the bulk of homes described in this fashion being very different from those of the standard we invest in.

Below are some additional characteristics of our real estate which may be assumed as pre-requisites for care homes but are absent in the majority of homes across the UK:

Wide corridors

Allows free and easy movement around the building for:

  • Residents whilst socialising.
  • Infirm or low-confidence residents to be accompanied.
  • Residents requiring wheelchair use.
  • Staff to move other equipment and residents' belongings such as laundry, and to distribute meals.

Assists the resident in being social and active, and boosts a home's efficiency and ambience.

Wide corridors are not present in many older, converted, care homes which often have narrow corridors with variations in levels, requiring steps.

Convenient outdoor access

Instinct and science both suggest convenient outdoor access to be beneficial for users, though it is often overlooked, particularly for residents not on ground level. We have long advocated for balconies and unrestricted access to outdoor space for all residents, whilst prioritising health and safety considerations.

Building services appropriately located

Thoughtful location of core building services provides a practical and efficient layout for care providers to manage the main "non-care" aspects of their service, such as:

  • Kitchen
  • Laundry
  • Lifts
  • Staff rest and administrative areas

This creates a more efficient home with happier staff providing better care and service to residents.
