Is it correct that there is a points system within the rental market so that if a landlord puts energy efficiency into a rental property, they can actually change the rent tariffs? They go on a points system if they, for example, go through the building, put in energy saving bulbs and do small, minor things.

People who are involved in managing rentals have told me about a points system whereby they take energy saving measures. That allows them to raise the rent if it meets certain criteria. Is that the case?
