In readiness for the 2025 FHS requiring every new home in England to produce 75% to 80% less carbon emissions than those currently being built, we decided to design new schemes with an enhanced fabric first standard and integrated low-carbon electricity and air source heat pumps.
These dwellings will be zero carbon ready, by switching off fossil fuels, and become zero carbon as the grid decarbonises. Our early adoption of these good practice standards in 2021 has ensured we can manage the FHS trajectories effectively.
