The Scottish Government has officially laid the new Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2025 in the Scottish Parliament, with the regulations confirmed to come into effect on 31st October 2026.

The reforms represent the most significant shake-up of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in Scotland in over a decade, aiming to provide clearer, more meaningful information for property owners and occupiers, and to better support Scotland’s journey to net zero.

The Carbon Futures team is ready to help the sector navigate these updates and ensure a smooth transition to the new standards.

We have prepared a detailed ‘Technical Bulletin’ with information on the key changes and you can download it here.

If you would like Carbon Futures to deliver a CPD session on this to your organisation, please submit an enquiry.
