Energy efficiency and condition standards in private rented housing: consultation analysis
This report presents an analysis of responses to the consultation on energy efficiency and condition standards in private rented housing.
Background
This report presents analysis of responses to a consultation on Energy Efficiency and Condition Standards in Private Rented Housing.
The Scottish Government has designated energy efficiency as a National Infrastructure Priority, the cornerstone of which will be Scotland's Energy Efficiency Programme ( SEEP). This programme will improve the energy efficiency of homes and buildings, supporting efforts to reduce climate change emissions and tackle fuel poverty. Minimum energy efficiency standards will play a key role.
The consultation opened on 7 April 2017 and closed on 30 June. The consultation paper (available at https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/better-homes-division/energy-efficiency-programme/) asked a total of 68 questions.
