Written Question
Housing: Carbon Emissions
Friday 18th October 2024

Asked by: Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat - Bath)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of amending the Building Regulations Act 2010 to introduce mandatory reporting on embodied carbon emissions for projects (a) with a gross internal area of 1000m2 or more and (b) that create more than 10 dwellings to help meet the UK's climate change commitments.

Answered by Rushanara Ali - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

Reducing embodied carbon emissions from the built environment is a key part of meeting the country’s net zero targets. These emissions predominantly come from the supply chains leading to new buildings, and there is work across government to decarbonise those supply chains. The Building Regulations are one of several mechanisms that could be used to encourage reporting of embodied carbon in construction, and my department is currently considering the role they might play.
