<p>The principle rating referred to in building energy efficiency regulations is the
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ”Energy Efficiency Rating”, which is currently
based on the energy cost to the consumer. In July this year BEIS and MHCLG jointly
released a Call for Evidence on EPCs which included a question on whether cost, energy
consumption in kWh or carbon emissions was the most suitable rating. The Call for
Evidence closed on 19 October and we are currently analysing responses. The responses
to the Call for Evidence will inform future policy thinking in this area.</p>
