Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether all Service Family Accommodation will follow the requirements of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards which require rental properties to meet a minimum Energy Performance Certificate rating standard of E by April 2023.

Answer

Currently 46,250 or 96.5% of Service Family Accommodation in the United Kingdom meet or exceed the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) requirements introduced in 2018 for homes to have a minimum energy rating of 'E' for new and existing occupants. The Department follows the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard Regulations.

Since 1 March 2022 no homes have been allocated for habitation if they are below the EPC assessment of E.
