Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing: guidance for social landlords

Background and guidance for social landlords regarding the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH).


9.0 Further Advice for landlords and tenants

9.1 The Scottish Government and stakeholders have developed a dedicated EESSH website to help support landlords and provide further advice and information to tenants. The website contains a comprehensive range of publications, information and links.

9.2 A Tenants' guide is available in a downloadable format here. The EESSH website has a dedicated tenants' area, where tenants can see what the relevant rating for their property would be. Benefits to tenants from having a more insulated home are also listed. To assist social landlords, sample text to explain EESSH is available, which social landlords may wish to use for tenants' newsletters.

9.3 The Scottish Government has an Energy Efficiency budget for the provision of energy efficiency advice to support landlords, tenants and owner occupiers. Advice is delivered by Energy Savings Scotland Advice Centres ( ESSACs) managed by the Energy Saving Trust ( EST).
