The insights produced will support future policy development. The process related research questions will largely be addressed through interviews with landlords, tenants and local authorities. The impact will be evaluated through a survey with landlords and tenants, as well as secondary data analysis of non-domestic EPC, the MEES Exemptions Register and sub-national gas and electricity consumption data.
