In 2024, UK EPCs recommended fossil fuel boilers in 120,000+ homes.
Heat pumps recommended? Zero. Zilch. Nada.
We @regassistproj.bsky.social flagged this already in 2019. Gov't working on it, but old rules still rule.

Why are they STILL recommending gas boilers (in 120,000+ properties last year)?

Anguish over the Skirmetti opinion is a completely appropriate and justified reaction. But just like w/ Dobbs, state constitutions provide add'l protections. Some state EPCs are much broader than the fed EPC; others have implicit privacy/bodily autonomy rights. The fight moves to state courts now.

I can't get over the 27,000 recommendations for *wind turbines*
EPCs are still calculated using grid data from 2012, but even then heat pumps resulted in lower CO₂ emissions than gas boilers (500g/kWh / 3 = 167g versus ~220g/kWh), so god knows what's wrong with EPCs/the RdSAP 10.2 methodology

If we are going to use EPCs to tackle shit housing, it makes NO SENSE AT ALL only to consider energy performance. A useful HPC ("Home Performance Certificate") would surely also rate on ventilation provision at least, given that we know so many* existing homes do NOT comply with Part F.

The Government is aiming for all private homes to meet EPC C by 2030 under its Warm Homes Plan.
