Energy Performance Certificates
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to modernise energy performance certificates so that home owners and landlords can make informed choices about how best to deliver low carbon homes.
- Answer
-
Energy performance certificates (EPCs) include recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of dwellings and other relevant buildings and are regularly updated to include new energy saving technologies. EPCs are subject to regular auditing and a recently revised set of operating requirements designed to ensure appropriate standards. We have also recently published a joint call for evidence with BEIS, which invited views on several suggestions to improve and modernise the EPC system.
