On behalf of the government, the Zero Carbon Hub has been working with the industry to develop proposals for a national energy efficiency standard for homes. This summer, and after consideration of feedback from the consultation on the definition of zero carbon, Housing Minister John Healey called for the urgent establishment of a challenging but practical national standard for energy efficiency. The development of such a standard is a key part of the strategy for delivering zero carbon homes, with energy efficiency potentially taking us about 40% of the way to the Government’s proposed carbon compliance target. However there are major financial, technical and consumer-related issues associated with achieving higher levels of energy efficiency. To stimulate wider debate and feedback on these proposals, the Zero Carbon Hub is running a series of free interactive events in late October. These events are a unique and once only opportunity for you to contribute to the final recommendations on energy efficiency that will be presented to ministers before the end of the year.
