Changes to the energy efficiency requirements of the Building Regulations for domestic buildings

Summary

The UK government proposes amending Building Regulations to reduce carbon emissions from domestic buildings by enhancing energy efficiency and promoting low-carbon heating systems. This involves raising minimum energy performance standards for new homes by a 30% CO2 reduction and for certain works on existing buildings. The policy, planned for implementation in June 2022, serves as an interim step towards the comprehensive Future Homes Standard in 2025.
