Energy Efficiency of Existing Homes
Environmental Audit Committee
Closed
Inquiry
Homes account for just under 30% of energy use and around 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. It is one of the few sectors where emissions reductions have stalled. This inquiry will look at the Government's manifesto commitments and proposed strategies on energy efficiency and ask whether they …

The scale of the challenge to retrofit existing homes to tackle the climate crisis is enormous. Energy efficiency is a precursor to the transition to low carbon heat, so action must be taken in the 2020s to set homes on …
Read more
Government Response
The government acknowledged the challenge and stated its commitment to improving homes to EPC Band C by 2035, outlining ongoing actions such as consulting on minimum standards for private and social rented sectors and committing to review owner-occupied regulations in 2021.

There is a wide variation in the costs for bringing all homes in the UK up to an EPC grade C. We have heard of costs averaging £18,000 to retrofit a property, before addition of a heat pump. Given that …
Read more
Government Response
The government clarifies that its £35-£65 billion estimate focuses on achieving EPC C where practical, and does not cover full decarbonisation of homes and non-domestic buildings, which would indeed cost significantly more. They reference external estimates from the CCC suggesting much higher costs for full decarbonisation.

We recommend that the Government review the feasibility of its aspiration to achieve a minimum of EPC band C by 2035, given current progress on improving energy efficiency. As well as setting out how it plans to meet existing targets, …
Read more
Government Response
The government acknowledged the recommendation by reiterating its commitment to the existing EPC band C by 2035 ambition, stating it believes it offers good value. It also noted the Heat and Buildings Strategy would set out policies for the 2020s, but did not commit to reviewing feasibility or increasing ambition.

We recommend that BEIS review its cost projections on energy efficiency and includes the cost of low carbon heating. The Department should consult the building and retrofit sector to ensure that its top-down modelling reflects real-world costs. It should also …
Read more
Government Response
The government states its cost projections are continually reviewed and informed by consultation, and no homes are considered out of scope under its definitions. It will publish a Heat and Buildings Strategy in due course to address actions for reducing emissions from buildings, including safeguards for properties that cannot reach energy efficiency aspirations.

While the energy efficiency of two million homes has been successfully upgraded under the ECO, the number of measures installed has reduced significantly in recent years and the Government’s fuel poverty targets are not expected to be met. The inability …
Read more
Government Response
The government acknowledges concerns about ECO's impact, stating ECO3 focuses on low-income households, and a £4bn scheme aims to meet fuel poverty targets. It intends to design ECO to complement other funding sources, explains why blending for the same measures is limited, and highlights the expanded Warm Home Discount and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund as additional support.

We support the extension of ECO to 2026 and the extra funding announced in the Fuel Poverty Strategy. The Government must review whether ECO is still delivering Energy Efficiency of Existing Homes 57 value for money and whether the energy …
Read more
Government Response
The government states it will publish an evaluation report for the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) later this year, addressing the recommendation to review its value for money. However, it implicitly defends the current funding mechanism via energy bills, rather than committing to a review of its appropriateness or fairness.

We recommend the Government reviews the way ECO is funded, in common with the other policy costs that are added to consumer electricity bills rather than gas. Disproportionate use of this regressive funding mechanism is hampering the adoption of low …
Read more
Government Response
The government commits to publishing a call for evidence to initiate a strategic dialogue with consumers and industry on affordability and fairness, including the balance of levies on electricity versus gas bills, to address current price signal distortions and encourage decarbonisation.

We recommend that Home Upgrade Grants are launched in full before the end of 2021, backed by the entirety of the funding pledged for the scheme, to mobilise supply chains for low carbon heating. The Government should also set out …
Read more
Government Response
The government committed £150m to launch Phase 1 of the Home Upgrade Grant after December 2021, addressing the timing and setting out a central role for local authorities in delivery via a competitive bidding process, but notes further multi-year funding is subject to future fiscal events.
