To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the progress it has made investigating possible reform of the energy performance certificate (EPC) rating system.
As we develop Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP), we will identify areas where review of the current EPC process is needed to support action under the Programme.
Work on the review is already underway. We have commissioned research to collate and report on EPC comments and concerns raised within last year’s three SEEP consultations.
This research, which will conclude in April 2018, will help establish where further investigation or review is needed.
