	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>(a) There is a large range of cost effective energy efficiency measures households could install in their homes. Each household has its own set of energy requirements. However, so a measure that is cost effective for one household may not be cost effective for another. The recent consultation impact assessment for the revised Private Rental Sector Regulations (see table 3a) shows the types of measures we expect to be installed to improve Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band F and G properties to band E[1]. This gives an indication, for each budget cap, of the likely mix of measures we would expect to be a cost effective way to improve the energy performance of homes.</p><p> </p><p>(b) As set out in the Clean Growth Strategy, upgrading the energy performance of homes can lead to significant bill savings for consumers. For example, the annual running costs of an EPC Band C rated home are £270 lower than the average Band D rated home and £650 less than the average Band E home.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/669214/PRS_Consultation_stage_IA.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/669214/PRS_Consultation_stage_IA.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/03/2018 14:22:24 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
