Evaluation of the Domestic Private Rented Sector Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard Regulations

Summary

The UK government introduced regulations to address the challenge of low energy efficiency in privately rented properties in England and Wales. These regulations mandated a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E for such properties. A final evaluation report indicates high levels of compliance, with 95.3% of properties meeting the standard by August 2023, leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
