Specialist Building Performance & Energy Consultancy for Healthcare Estates
Healthcare buildings are among the most operationally demanding properties in the built environment. From GP surgeries and primary care centres to clinics, care homes and specialist healthcare facilities, estates must balance patient comfort, compliance, operational resilience and rising energy costs; all while remaining fully functional.
Murton & Co provides specialist consultancy services to help healthcare property owners, operators and estates teams improve building performance, reduce energy consumption and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape with sights set on net zero.
With more than 20 years’ experience in commercial property and energy consultancy, we deliver practical, data-led advice tailored to the unique demands of healthcare environments.
Whether the immediate challenge is EPC, MEES, DEC, retrofit or wider building performance, we can help you understand where to focus first across your healthcare estate.
Supporting Healthcare Estates Across the UK
We work with healthcare property owners, operators, investors and facilities teams to support:
• GP surgeries and primary care centres
• Medical and healthcare investment portfolios
• Clinics and outpatient facilities
• Care homes and assisted living developments
• Community healthcare buildings
• Mixed-use healthcare estates
Our approach combines technical expertise with practical understanding of operational healthcare environments, ensuring recommendations are commercially realistic and achievable.
Healthcare property types we support
Murton & Co supports a wide range of healthcare property types, from single-site medical practices to larger healthcare property portfolios.
This includes:
• GP surgeries and doctors’ surgeries
• Primary care estates
• NHS-linked property and public healthcare buildings
• Medical centres and community healthcare facilities
• Care homes and assisted living developments
• Specialist clinics and outpatient facilities
• Pharmacies and chemists
• Cleanrooms and controlled healthcare environments
• Mixed-use healthcare estates and investment portfolios
Each building type has different operational demands, compliance requirements and energy performance challenges. Our role is to provide practical advice that reflects how the building is used, who occupies it and what improvements are realistically achievable.
Energy consultancy for primary care estates and medical centres
Primary care buildings often need to balance patient comfort, clinical use, compliance, accessibility, energy costs and long opening hours.
Murton & Co helps owners, operators and estates teams understand how GP surgeries, doctors’ surgeries and medical centres are performing, where energy efficiency improvements may be possible, and how to plan upgrades without unnecessary disruption.
This may include EPC assessments, Display Energy Certificates, measured surveys, MEES advice, retrofit planning and wider building performance consultancy.
Experience in Healthcare Property
Murton & Co has supported healthcare-related property portfolios and medical centre developments, helping clients improve energy performance and operational efficiency for several years.
Our experience includes supporting projects involving NHS-linked primary care facilities and healthcare property portfolios, delivering practical recommendations designed to reduce energy consumption and improve building performance.
We understand the pressures facing healthcare estates teams, including:
• Budget constraints
• Operational disruption risks
• Compliance requirements
• Sustainability targets
• Rising utility costs
• Occupant comfort expectations
Why healthcare buildings need a specialist approach
Healthcare buildings cannot be treated like standard commercial properties.
Many operate for long hours, have high ventilation and comfort requirements, support vulnerable occupants, and must remain functional while assessments or improvement works are planned.
This means any advice around EPCs, DECs, MEES, retrofit or building performance needs to consider more than energy efficiency alone. It also needs to account for operational continuity, patient and staff comfort, indoor air quality, ventilation, compliance risk and long-term resilience.
That is why Murton & Co provides practical, data-led advice that is specific to the demands of healthcare estates and operational healthcare environments.

Check EPC and MEES risk across your healthcare estate

Our Commercial EPC & MEES Readiness Check gives healthcare property owners, investors and estates teams a quick starting point before deciding whether further advice is needed.

Under One Roof
Our Healthcare Consultancy Services:
We provide accurate and reliable EPC assessments for healthcare buildings across the UK, helping clients understand energy performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
Our consultants work with operational healthcare facilities managers to minimise disruption while undertaking surveys and assessments.
For public sector and NHS-related buildings, DECs play an important role in demonstrating operational energy efficiency.
We help healthcare organisations:
• Maintain compliance
• Benchmark performance
• Identify inefficiencies
• Improve operational energy use
Accurate building information is essential for effective estate management and future planning.
We provide:
• Measured building surveys
• Floor plans
• Building data collection
• Space utilisation information
• Property performance assessments
This enables healthcare organisations to make informed decisions about estate improvement and long-term planning.
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) continue to create significant challenges for healthcare property owners, investors and estates teams. Many healthcare buildings were not originally designed to meet modern energy performance expectations, yet they must remain operational while improvements are delivered.
Murton & Co helps healthcare clients navigate this increasingly complex compliance landscape through practical, risk-aware consultancy tailored to operational buildings.
Many healthcare buildings operate from ageing property stock where improving energy performance must be carefully balanced against operational demands and building limitations.
Murton & Co provides strategic retrofit and building performance consultancy for healthcare estates, helping clients identify realistic opportunities for improvement while understanding the risks associated with upgrading existing buildings.
