Conclusion
We support the introduction of minimum energy performance standards across all tenures. Without these minimum standards, it is unlikely the Government’s overall ambitions on retrofitting energy efficiency will be achieved.

Acknowledged
We welcome the Committee’s support for a minimum energy performance standards across all tenures, and believe this is a key enabler of action as set out in our earlier responses. To this end, we have: • Consulted on strengthening the minimum energy performance standards for the domestic Private Rented Sector, for new tenancies from 2025 and all tenancies by 2028; • Committed to consult on energy performance requirements under the Decent Homes Standard for social housing in the Social Housing White Paper; and • Committed to consult in 2021 on regulatory measures to improve energy performance for owner occupied homes in the Energy White Paper.
