This implementation report describes how the requirements of the recast EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings have been implemented in domestic legislation. The report has been published to establish whether and to what extent the 2012 regulations have achieved their original objectives, to assess whether those objectives remain appropriate and the extent to which they could be achieved with a system which imposes less regulation. This report covers a 5-year period from January 2013 to January 2018.
The 2012 regulations are derived from the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings. The UK has now left the EU and is no longer a member state. While many EU obligations continue to apply during the transition period, once it ends the UK and EU will separate into 2 autonomous legal and regulatory systems each with the right to set its own laws and rules in any area. Once the UK is a fully independent and sovereign country, the government will be able to regulate in a way that best supports British businesses, workers and consumers.
