The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015
These Regulations introduce measures to improve the energy efficiency of certain private rented property in England and Wales.
It provides that, the landlord of a non-domestic private rented property must not grant a new tenancy of the property after 1st April 2018, and must not continue to let the property after 1st April 2023, where the energy performance of the property is below the minimum level.). It prescribes a minimum level of energy efficiency for private rented properties: that is, is an energy performance indicator (evidenced on the energy performance certificate for the property) of band E.
This legislation is triggered by new leases and lease renewals although not sales.
These are the latest greenhouse gas emissions as of 2015.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) released the greenhouse gas emissions for 2010 during February 2012. In 2010, UK emissions of the basket of six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol were estimated to be 590.4 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e). This was 3.1% higher than the 2009 figure of 572.5 million tonnes.
The Energy Act 2011 along with the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 has introduced the reality of minimum energy efficiency standards for properties in the England and Wales and perhaps Scotland.
