<p>We are committed to ensuring that good quality homes are built which meet the energy
efficiency standards they were designed to. That is why, as part of the Future Homes
and Buildings Standards consultation, we are consulting on introducing a post-occupancy
fabric performance testing scheme for new homes.</p><p>We are proposing that developers
opt-in to performance testing a proportion of their new homes. This would enable us
to gather better data on how significantly new homes are underperforming.</p><p>We

been encouraged by work some developers are already doing to monitor and improve the
actual performance of their homes.</p>
