Energy Performance Certificates

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her planned timetable is to consult on changes to Energy Performance Certificate methodology.

Answered by Alex Norris

Energy Performance Certificates provide homeowners and renters with valuable information about the energy performance of their homes.

However, it is now widely recognised that improvements need to be made to the EPC system to improve their accuracy and reliability, whilst ensuring they are giving people a wider range of information. We are developing plans to address this and will shortly launch a consultation with more detail.
