Saving energy in the private rented sector
Series: CSM (Chartered Surveyor Monthly) ; March 2001, 27(1)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Describes, and considers, the results of a project undertaken in 2000 at Sheffield Hallam University, investigating levels of energy efficiency in the private rented sector, and the scope for improvement. The key finding was that there is considerable potential for improving energy efficiency. The research findings demonstrate that private landlords have little incentive to improve energy efficiency, and many are sceptical about the capital return on any investment they make. The implication is that the future success of energy efficiency policies in the private rented sector depends on demonstrating the potential for cost-effective energy savings.
