Unlocking the barriers to low carbon heat: an industry view
Following an industry-wide workshop, UKGBC has published recommendations for driving enhanced uptake of low carbon heating solutions.
UKGBC recently met with the Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP, Minister for Business, Energy & Clean Growth, who asked us about the construction and property sectors’ views as to the barriers to low carbon heat investment, along with possible solutions.
Following that meeting, UKGBC convened an industry-wide workshop to explore these issues in more detail – and this paper presents the findings of that workshop and makes recommendations for driving enhanced uptake of low carbon heating solutions. The paper has been shared with Minister Kwarteng and relevant officials in BEIS. It represents UKGBC’s contribution to the long-awaited Heat & Buildings Strategy.
