The government has launched a proposal to change building
regulations to tackle the carbon footprint of homes built after 2025, in a
series of new housing policy proposals put forward by the housing secretary.

fuel heating systems such as gas boilers banned from new homes by 2025 and

building regulations can drive down the carbon footprint of homes built after
2025 – including changes to the ventilation and efficiency requirements. Read
