Improving the Energy Efficiency of Socially Rented Homes Consultation Response

UKGBC has responded to the Government's consultation on minimum energy efficiency standards for socially rented homes.
Climate Change Mitigation Policy Document

 This is a response to the Government’s consultation which sets out proposals for a new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) for the SRS, including: metrics to define compliance; transitional arrangements; a per-property spend exemption; and exemptions for cases such as tenant refusal.

UKGBC welcomes this consultation and the government’s renewed commitment to improving energy efficiency in the social rented sector (SRS). Achieving net zero and addressing fuel poverty must include the SRS, which provides homes for some of the lowest-income households in the country. Too many homes remain cold, inefficient, and costly to run, and upgrading them is essential to tackling inequality, improving health outcomes, and meeting climate goals.
