Including solar on new builds is a ‘no brainer’

Government must ensure new build standards cut carbon pollution and keep household energy costs down.

Campaigners in Sussex have responded to a government consultation on standards for new build-homes.

The proposed standards include two options – one which includes installation of solar panels and one which does not.

CPRE Sussex says it is vital future homeowners and tenants are helped to keep their ‘entirely avoidable’ carbon pollution and bills down by adopting option 1.

The Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation closes on March 6.
