Impact assessments for both Private and Social Rented Sector Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards are published on GOV.UK.

There are no current requirements for properties to meet EPC A.

The Future Homes Standard applies to new homes in England, requiring high energy efficiency and low-carbon heating to minimise the need for future retrofit.
