The Future Homes Standard (FHS), set for 2025, seeks to significantly enhance the energy efficiency of new homes in the UK, targeting a 75-80% reduction in carbon emissions compared to 2013 Building Regulations. This initiative supports the UK’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While it is expected to face a phased implementation due to legislative and industry adjustment needs, FHS builds on earlier regulatory updates, such as the 31% emissions cut mandated by Part L 2021.
The FHS focuses on creating “net zero ready” homes by improving insulation, heating systems, and reducing heat waste through measures like triple glazing and heat pumps. However, our industry viewfinder white paper delves into the mixed industry responses, the key challenges and the additional costs, but despite these hurdles, the FHS remains a critical step toward sustainable housing.
