About

What is the Zero Carbon Hub?

BACKGROUND

The Zero Carbon Hub is a non-profit company limited by guarantee. We are a public/private partnership established to take day-to-day operational responsibility for co-ordinating delivery of low and zero carbon new homes. The Callcutt Review of House-building Delivery identified the need for this new venture and more than 25 organisations were consulted before the Zero Carbon Hub was launched on 28 June 2008.

Organisation ChartThe Zero Carbon Hub supports and reports to the 2016 Taskforce which was established in January 2007 and is chaired by the Housing Minister and the Executive Chairman of the Home Builders Federation.

The Zero Carbon Hub Board is chaired by Paul King and has representation from across industry.

 

 

PURPOSE

To facilitate the mainstream delivery of low and zero carbon homes.

Hub activity has been organised in five workstreams; Building energy efficiency, Energy supply, Examples and scale up, Skills and training and Consumer engagement. Each is managed by a Steering Group and supported by a range of key stakeholders from across the industry. Each Steering Group prioritises specific delivery programmes focused on industry need. These will all contribute to delivering the Hub's three strategic objectives.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

  • Create confidence during change
  • Reduce risk and clear obstacles
  • Disseminate practical guidance
