Future Homes and Buildings Standards will mean new buildings are net zero ready and focus on improved building services and renewables

The government is proposing that all new buildings are net zero ready from 2025, according to a consultation on future building energy standards published yesterday.

The government said that once introduced, the proposals mean no further work will be needed for new buildings to meet the UK’s 2050 net zero target.

The consultation, called the Future Homes and Buildings Standards, will apply to new homes and non-domestic buildings and sets out technical proposals for changes to Part L of the building regulations which would come into force in 2025.
