The Government remains committed to meeting its target of net zero emissions by 2050. We recognise the important contribution that the energy efficiency of buildings has in meeting this.

In December we introduced an uplift in standards which delivers a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions for new homes. This is a stepping-stone to the 2025 Future Homes Standard.

The Heat and Buildings Strategy, which we published in October, sets out our approach to improving the energy efficiency of existing homes in more detail.
