Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans she has to embed post-occupancy evaluation within the Warm Homes Plan, including to support continuous quality improvement.

The Department’s approach to assurance in the Warm Homes Plan is focussed on installation quality. The PAS 2030/2035 and Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) standards which underpin WHP delivery are designed to ensure retrofit measures perform as intended, protect consumers and identify opportunities to improve future delivery.

The Department recently consulted on reforms to strengthen system oversight and the government’s response will be published in due course.
