The Future Homes Standard: building to net-zero

G&T partner Ben McCartney recently met with industry leaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges of The UK Goverment's Future Homes Standard.

The UK Government’s Future Homes Standard will come into effect in 2025. The regulations aim to cut the carbon emissions of homes by 75 – 80%, in part by focussing on heating systems that are not reliant on fossil fuels. 

The Future Homes Standard was announced in 2019 as part of the Government’s Spring Statement, and legislators are currently consulting with industry for technical specification ahead of implementation next year. The Standard is now part of the Government’s wider goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, which the government set in October 2021.

Earlier this year, NorDan UK, together with industry publisher, Place North West, hosted a roundtable discussion with industry experts including G&T partner Ben McCartney. The purpose was to discuss the effects that the Future Homes Standard would have on the industry and what steps can be taken to meet any challenges presented by the new Standard.
