As set out in our paper Fixing Our Broken Housing Market,<\/em> we have started work on a review of the cost effectiveness of current energy performance standards in the Building Regulations. However, following the devastating events at Grenfell Tower on 14 June, the Government has commissioned an Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, led by Dame Judith Hackitt. The independent review will report in Spring 2018. Any future changes to Building Regulations \u2013 including those to energy performance standards - will need to be considered following the outcome of the independent review, and subject to its conclusions.<\/p> Energy performance certificates (EPCs) are already required whenever a home is built, sold or rented. Since 2008, 16,889,000 EPCs covering domestic properties (including new properties) in England and Wales have been lodged on the EPC register. The latest quarterly statistics on EPCs for England and Wales were published on 31 October 2017 and can be found at:<\/p>
