Consultation description
Following the Future support for low carbon heat consultation, we would like further views on certain areas of Clean Heat Grant scheme design. We will confirm the final scheme design later this year in the government response to the original consultation. The proposals covered are:
minimum insulation requirements
voucher application process
Minimum insulation requirements
Taking a fabric first approach to building retrofit is likely to improve the efficiency of low carbon heating systems, resulting in lower heating bills. The Energy White Paper, published on 14 December 2020, reiterated the need to take a whole house retrofit approach to improving the energy performance of the UK’s domestic buildings.

Air source heat pumps and solar panels have been installed in barracks
New energy efficient buildings have been built in Wiltshire to accommodate the training of soldiers.
The building blocks at Westdown Camp in Salisbury Plain have A-rated Energy Performance Certificates and feature air source heat pumps and solar panels.
Air source heat pumps, which take additional electrical power from solar PV panels installed on the roof, provide the accommodation’s complete heating and hot water needs.
The buildings are also designed to reduce electricity costs.
The programme is being part-funded from a £200 million-investment to improve armed forces accommodation, which was announced by the Defence Secretary last summer.
