What was compared and what the system found
Question
What arrangement can deliver energy improvements to occupied private rented homes while coordinating funding, consent, safety, tenant benefit and repair?
Result
The integrated statutory configuration and identical delivery under existing lawful powers tied in the substantive comparison. Enacting a new bill did not itself establish an advantage over delivering the same protections through existing powers.
What changed the comparison
Six comparisons tested funding, owner obligations, tenant consent, occupation during works, net tenant benefit and rectification together. An owner-gap alternative ranked below the integrated arrangements; incomplete delivery ranked last.
Limits and further work
The assessment is conditional on secured funding and effective delivery. It does not claim that legislation alone produces improvements or that the draft is preferable to identical implementation under existing powers.
