=== Introduction ===

In February 2017, government published guidance for landlords of privately rented non-domestic property on complying with the 2018 ‘minimum level of energy efficiency’ standard (EPC band E).

From April 2018, the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property)(England and Wales) Regulations 2015 hold that private non-domestic (and domestic) landlords must ensure that properties rented out in England and Wales reach at least an EPC rating of E before granting a tenancy to new or existing tenants.

These requirements are set to apply to all private rented non-domestic properties – including properties where there has been no change in the tenancy arrangements – from April 2023.

The new guidance document is aimed at non-domestic landlords, Local Weights and Measures enforcement authorities, and others such as letting agents and property management agencies. The document provides guidance and advice on the following:

=== Scope of the regulations ===

The steps a landlord should take to determine whether their property is covered by the regulations, and the steps they should take to ensure their property complies with the minimum level of energy efficiency.

=== Relevant improvements ===

How a landlord can identify appropriate energy efficiency improvements for their property.

=== Cost effectiveness ===

How a landlord can calculate whether particular improvements would be cost effective to install.

=== Exemptions and exclusions ===

The exemptions framework and the steps a landlord should take to register a valid exemption.

=== Enforcement ===

The enforcement framework and the options open to enforcement authorities when policing compliance with the minimum standards, including information on fines and other penalty options.

=== The appeals framework ===

Landlord appeals will be heard by the First-tier Tribunal, part of the court system administered by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service; the guidance discusses the steps a landlord will need to take to lodge an appeal, and how that process will be run.

Where a landlord believes that an F or G EPC-rated property they rent qualifies for an exemption from the minimum energy efficiency standard, an exemption must be registered on the PRS Exemptions Register. The government will provide further guidance on this later in the year.

Separate guidance to domestic private landlords on complying with their obligations under the minimum standard regulations will be published later in the year.

In response to the publication, John Alker, Campaign & Policy Director, UK Green Building Council, said:

“We warmly welcome the publication today of guidance for minimum energy efficiency standards. The regulations have already had a galvanising effect on the commercial property industry, which has been working hard for the last few years to prepare for these regulations.

“We now need to see the same clarity from Government in relation to privately rented homes, to ensure that this crucial piece of legislation lives up to its potential - reducing energy bills for households and businesses alike.”
