question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for requiring all new industrial and commercial buildings to include extensive solar panel coverage on their roofs.
tabling member printed	Earl Cathcart
uin	HL16349
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2019 answer text <p>The Building Regulations energy performance standards are deliberately couched in performance terms and do not prescribe the technologies, materials or fuels to be used, allowing builders the flexibility to innovate and select the most appropriate solutions for the circumstances. For example, many roofs are not suitable for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels because of building orientation, roof design, or over shading. We do, however, plan to consult on uplifting the energy efficiency standards of the building regulations in the coming months, including those for new non-domestic buildings.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 26/06/2019 12:15:12 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
