A review of the proposed increases to energy efficiency
standards in homes has concluded the overall bill for the private rental sector
could reach £29 billion. Geospatial technology company Kamma has released their
analysis which estimates that 2.9 million privately rented homes (65% of those
on the EPC register) are below the Government target energy efficiency grade C.
