The overall aim of the UK government’s Clean Growth Strategy is for homes to hit zero carbon emissions (net) by 2050 – something that is likely to be a considerable undertaking.
In this article, we explore just one part of this challenge – the push for all social housing to achieve C-rated Energy Performance Certificates by 2035.
So what stands in our way on the road to achieving this milestone, and how do we intend to tackle the challenges ahead? Here are just a few of the hurdles that must be surpassed.
Majority of new homes classed as energy efficient, figures reveal
The majority of new homes in England are in the most energy efficient bands, according to the latest official figures.
In the last quarter 84% of new homes across the country were given an energy rating of A or B, compared to 79% in the previous quarter.
Published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG), the figures also show that 392,000 domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were lodged in England, an increase of 10% from the same quarter in 2019.
EPCs are mandatory for domestic buildings and provide new home owners with an indicator on how energy efficient their property is and how they can save on costs.
