Housing professionals
The Government has set out ambitions to tackle a third of the UK’s carbon emissions from housing by 2050.
By 2015 no old home will lack the basic energy efficient measures. From 2016 all new homes will be built to a new zero carbon standard. By 2020 seven million homes will have been upgraded to significantly improve the energy performance. By 2050 the nation’s entire housing stock will be virtually zero carbon.
This will require a complete transformation of the housing stock over the coming decades. For the house building industry, that’s a lot of work - and a big opportunity.
Whether involved in newbuild or refurbishment projects, designing, specifying, planning, building or installing, the Energy Saving Trust Housing programme provides free technical and practical guidance to help you achieve the UK targets.
