Hub welcomes announcement on zero carbon new homes
The Zero Carbon Hub welcomes Housing Minister Grant Shapps’ announcement today on ‘New flexibilities for builders and councils to make new homes zero-carbon’.
The announcement made today by the Housing Minister is a timely and important step forward on the road to zero carbon homes. In the announcement, the Minister re-affirmed his commitment to all new homes being zero-carbon from 2016 and confirmed the introduction of the ‘Fabric Energy Efficiency Standard', proposals developed by a Hub-lead Task Group last year.
