The UK's leading home builders, supply sectors, regulators and environmental groups have committed to a sector-wide delivery plan for meeting environmental and Net Zero targets.
Randolph Brazier, Director of Innovation and Electricity Systems at Energy Networks Association which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks businesses said:
“It is a simple fact that well-built homes will help people stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer and keep their energy bills down. Whether it’s heat-pumps, hydrogen, energy efficiency or district heating, high quality homes are at the heart of providing customers with the most accessible and affordable ways to decarbonise their heating.”
