Response to ‘Improving the Energy Efficiency of Socially Rented Homes in England’

Our response to this consultation is based around three key themes:  

1. A standard, aligned with the fuel poverty target, is essential to meeting the governments statutory duties.  
2. Social landlords should be held to the same standards as private landlords, and neither should be penalised for delivering early against the target.  
3. Social landlords should have obligations to arrange smart meters to be installed in their property and for landlords to promote smart metering to their tenants
