A review of the energy standards of the Scottish Building Regulations has commenced. This review is considering the next steps to further enhance the energy performance of buildings and contribute to greenhouse gas abatement targets set under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. The first stage of this review is to consider the effectiveness and impact that the 2015 energy standards, and the supporting guidance, had, or continues to have, on industry in delivering energy efficient buildings. Feedback received through this call for evidence will be considered in the next stage of the review. The consultation can be accessed here. We are inviting responses to this consultation by 14 September 2018. |
