Industry urges government to draft 2016 homes reqs

摘要

The government has been urged to draft the 2016 energy efficiency regulations for homes now, after it emerged that the Building Regulations minister has yet to set a date for the next meeting of a pan-industry task force on the issue, writes Vern Pitt. In a letter to Building Regulations minister Stephen Williams - copied to chancellor George Osborne, communities secretary Eric Pickles, and energy secretary Ed Davey - the bosses of the Construction Products Association, the Zero Carbon Hub, the Home Builders Federation and the National House Building Council and three other trade bodies, said drafting the 2016 Part L regulations now was a "critical issue".
