The Future Homes Standard: Changes to Part L and Part F of the Building Regulations for new dwellings.
Detail of outcome
Government response to the Future Buildings Standard consultation, covering energy efficiency, ventilation and overheating.
It built on the Future Homes Standard consultation by setting out energy and ventilation standards for non-domestic buildings, existing homes and includes proposals to mitigate against overheating in residential buildings.
It set out proposals for a Future Buildings Standard, which provides a pathway to highly efficient non-domestic buildings which are zero carbon ready, better for the environment and fit for the future.
The interim outcomes of this consultation and the previous one, will now be implemented through a statutory instrument and new approved documents which will deliver an uplift in energy efficiency standards for new homes and buildings, improved ventilation and a requirement to mitigate any overheating in residential buildings.
