Scottish building regulations: a consultation on proposed changes to energy standards and associated topics

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation on proposed changes to energy standards within Scottish building regulations, including related topics such as ventilation, overheating and electric vehicle charging provision. These new proposals for the review of energy standards set through building regulations seek to deliver further improvement to the energy efficiency of new buildings and new building work, in-line with Scottish Government’s wider net zero ambitions.

The consultation is open until 15 October 2021 and responses can be completed on the Scottish Government website.
