Summary

We're seeking views on the government's proposed framework to improve implementation and enforcement of the EPC B target by 2030 for privately rented non-domestic buildings.

This consultation ran from
10:30am on 17 March 2021 to 11:45pm on 9 June 2021

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.
