Future Homes Standard: The Complete Guide to The New Targets
The Future Homes Standard is a set of rules that will come into effect from 2025 to ensure new homes produce less carbon emissions.
To help lay the groundwork for the Standard’s introduction, the government introduced major Building Regulations changes in June 2022, with new homes in England now needing to produce around 30% less carbon emissions compared to the old regulations.
Ahead of the Standard coming into effect, a technical specification will be consulted on in 2023 by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), with the necessary legislation introduced in 2024, ahead of implementation in 2025.
