Council house EPC ratings & MEES enforcement
Dear Luton Borough Council,
Please treat this as an Freedom of Information/Environmental Information Regulations request.
I would like information about your council’s homes and MEES enforcements in relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This information may be held by a housing department or similar.
In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following questions:
a) What is the energy efficiency of the council's homes (managed or owned by the council)? Please provide either a distribution table with the number of buildings for each EPC rating or the percentage of the council’s homes that have received an EPC rating of C or above.
b) What is the number of investigations, enforcement notices and enforcement actions that the council did, related to MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) in the 2021/22 financial year.
Where data is available separately for each statistic please provide separately. If only some information is available, please give me that information.
I would prefer to receive information in a machine readable format, such as CSV files for data, where possible.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK

Dear Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK
1. The Council does not have a 100% renewable green electricity tariff for
its corporate buildings. Subject to affordability this may be considered
in the future but the Council’s current financial situation is very
demanding at present.
2. The Council does not generate or use energy from waste.
Yours faithfully
Neil O’Connor
FM Service Manager – Luton Council
