Recommendations for Carbon Compliance delivered to Minister
Zero Carbon Hub has today delivered final recommendations for the Carbon Compliance levels of new homes to the Minister for Housing and Local Government, Rt. Hon. Grant Shapps MP.
Recommendations for national minimum standards of Carbon Compliance – the onsite reductions of emissions – have been developed by a Zero Carbon Hub led Task Group. The Task Group found that the proposal from July 2009, to tighten the Carbon Compliance standard by 70% (equivalent to 6 kg CO2(eq) /m2/year), may not be achievable in all cases.
