Sustainability Standards in New Homes
A project bringing together local government and the housebuilding industry to encourage consistency and ambition on sustainability standards in new homes.
UKGBC, in association with Core Cities UK, has produced a resource pack that is designed to help enable local authorities (LAs) drive up the sustainability of new homes. It is a 鈥榣ive鈥� resource, to be used and adapted to support officers with responsibility for sustainability, planning, regeneration, housing etc.
The core content is a 鈥楶olicy Playbook鈥� which focuses on energy & carbon, mitigating overheating risk, and the cross-cutting issue of assuring performance. There is also a section on viability and a set of case studies.
This project is part of the Cities Programme.
