Consultation description

The government’s 2019 consultation on a future regulatory target for the Non-Domestic Private Rented Sector Regulations of EPC B by 2030 gained large support. As a result, the 2020 Energy white paper confirmed that the future trajectory for the non-domestic minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) will be EPC B by 2030.

Responses to the earlier consultation raised issues with how existing minimum energy efficiency standards have been implemented, so in this consultation we have set out proposals to:

  • improve the implementation
  • improve enforcement
  • ensure the policy can be delivered in practice

See the BEIS consultation privacy notice.

Please do not send responses by post to the department during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), as we will not be able to access them.
