What do you need to know about the Future Homes and Buildings Standards: 2023 Consultation?
The Future Homes and Buildings Standards Consultation 2023 acts as a step towards advancing new buildings standards in terms of carbon and energy efficiency of new buildings in England.
However, several critical considerations and unanswered questions necessitate industries and government’s attention.
In our review, McBains Director of ESG & Sustainability, Tassos Kougionis, summarises the consultation’s key points with comments. As advocates for a robust, resilient, and sustainable built environment, we stress the importance of addressing these points to ensure that the Future Homes Standard and similar regulations, not only meet immediate goals but will stand the test of time.
