Earlier green engagement can be a housing game-changer

摘要

It's been a tumultuous few weeks for sustainability professionals, especialty those specialising in the social housing sector. The focus on cost of living during party conference season and recent energy price hikes have set alight speculation about policy. Even death and taxes seem less guaranteed-the Green Deal lives on and levies on the 'big six' energy companies have been brought into question. At such times, it's reassuring to remind ourselves of some certainties. While investment and incentives may be under review, regulation is only going one way. Sustainability and energy-efficiency will continue to be priorities; standards will become more ambitious and regulation will tighten.
