Government presented with Zero Carbon definition for new homes

摘要

The Zero Carbon Hub Task Croup has delivered recommendations to government for the carbon compliance levels of new homes from 2016, which will have a strong influence on product development plans for manufacturers and house builders over the next few years. Commenting on the recommendation, John Tebbit, Industry Affairs Director at the Construction Products Association said: "Although it has been very challenging to achieve consensus from across all parties involved in zero carbon homes, we always believed that the Task Croup would come up with realistic but stretching targets that will drive both quality and quantity of new homes. I am therefore delighted that these recommendations set a basis for the Minister to come to the right decision and I'm sure that our industry will rise to the challenge he sets."
