If you manage private rented properties, the energy efficiency rules you follow are about to change significantly. The Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) currently require properties to meet an EPC Band E.

This shift means landlords need to rethink their energy strategies now to avoid costly penalties later.
