Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are regulations set by governments to ensure that buildings and appliances use a certain amount of energy efficiently. These standards aim to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable practices. For example, rental properties must meet specific energy performance criteria before they can be rented out. By enforcing these standards, authorities encourage improvement in energy efficiency, leading to cost savings for users and a smaller environmental footprint. In essence, MEES help make energy use more responsible, affordable, and environmentally friendly.
