Heat in Buildings - The Future of Heat
This consultation asks for views on options for raising domestic boiler standards. The government is also seeking evidence on the costs and benefits of wider domestic and non-domestic central heating system performance improvements.
Our homes and buildings are central to our daily comfort and wellbeing, and the ability to keep ourselves warm and control our comfort is fundamental to quality of life. The course of action set out in this consultation seeks to transform the way consumers engage with their heating systems. We will give consumers greater choice over their heating technology and greater control over the space in which they live and work than ever before. With this consultation we are seeking views from consumers, installers and the supply chain on a range of measures and policy options that can:
-
Keep energy bills as low as possible;
-
Ensure the UK has a secure and resilient energy system; and
-
Reduce carbon emissions cost-effectively at home.
We are also seeking evidence on the costs and benefits of wider domestic and non-domestic central heating system performance improvements.
Your response will most useful if it is framed in direct response to the questions posed, though further comments and evidence are also welcome. We encourage respondents to make use of the online e-consultation platform at the link below.
