Home Energy Conservation Act 1995

The Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 (HECA 1995) requires that ‘energy conservation authorities’ (local authorities in England, Wales and Scotland and the Housing Executive in Northern Ireland) produce ‘local energy conservation reports’ related to improving the energy efficiency of residential accommodation.

The Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 was repealed in Scotland and Wales in 2011 but still applies to local authorities in England and the Housing Executive in Northern Ireland.
