This study considers the potential opportunities for tightening building standards for new buildings to support the UK in meeting its legal obligations under the Climate Change Act. The study considers a range of tighter standards for selected housing and non-domestic buildings in tandem with a range for technologies for space heating and hot water; namely gas boilers, air source heat pumps (ASHP) and low-carbon heat networks (LCHN).
