In some locations you can't rent out places without minimum energy efficiency ratings, which then leads to insulation and heat pumps getting installed.

In some locations you can't rent out places without minimum energy efficiency ratings, which then leads to insulation and heat pumps getting installed.
- adrianN 1y agoWhere is that?
- ZeroGravitas 1y agoThis is referred to as "Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)" and seems to have been pioneered in the UK and adopted by Netherlands and France and then the EU generally.
- dan-robertson 1y agoIME the people estimating energy efficiency in the UK do not recognise heat pumps and often misclassify them as less efficient systems.
- ZeroGravitas 1y agoI believe the EPC is being updated to fix that and googling suggests it has gone into effect a few months ago.
