Energy Efficiency

• Understand the main legislation dealing with energy efficiency
• Understand the operation and factors affecting ECO grants
• Seek funding to assist in carrying out improvement works
• Appreciate the importance of the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and how to benefit from the changes in its production

From April 2018 the granting of a new tenancy for a property with an energy efficiency rating of less than Band E was banned; this was then extended to existing tenancies from April 2020. The Government recently launched a consultation outlining proposals to raise the minimum standard for new tenancies from 2028 and existing tenancies from 2030 for all private rented properties in England and Wales. The course will look in detail at the impact of the current Minimum Energy Efficiency regulations, the exemptions and how any necessary improvement could be funded at no expense to the landlord, ECO and the possible impact of Government intended direction of travel on energy efficiency.

This training course qualifies for 3 continuous professional development (CPD) points which can help towards or maintain your accreditation with the NRLA. If you are interested in becoming an accredited landlord with the NRLA, CPD points are necessary to achieve that status. 

NRLA Accreditation recognises landlords who have agreed to maintain professional standards in the management and maintenance of their rented property and deal fairly and professionally with their tenants. Accredited members demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities and obligations and strive to maintain, increase and improve their knowledge of the market through training and development.
