(asked on 25th November 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that energy performance certificates are inaccurate.
Answered by
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government recognises challenges with energy performance certificates (EPCs) and is consulting on proposals for improvements to the EPC system, including on how to make them more accurate and reliable.
As part of this, the Government is overhauling the methodology underpinning EPCs with the Home Energy Model. An initial consultation on the Home Energy Model closed in March 2024, which will be followed by a technical consultation on a revised EPC methodology in due course.
