The Trust aims to feed this research into the development of newbuild policy. The Energy Saving Trust has recently joined the 2016 Task Force on zero-carbon newbuild.
Existing Housing
The Energy Saving Trust undertakes a range of research and produces a variety of publications in relation to existing housing - for instance, producing guidance on how to refurbish homes to 60% and more reductions in carbon emissions, and supporting a number of advanced refurbishment projects.
