CIAT briefing on MEES in non-domestic private rented sector

CIAT has prepared a short briefing on the government's interim response to 2019 and 2021 consultations on strengthening minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) for privately rented (non-domestic) properties in England and Wales.

This is only an interim response, meaning some details have yet to be provided. However, government has made clear that strengthened standards will require certain privately rented commercial properties to achieve an energy efficiency of EPC B, a significant uplift from the current minimum standard of EPC E.
