	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Homes England funding supports the delivery of homes through many forms of construction that deliver energy efficient homes. Recognising that building more homes using modern methods of construction can deliver good-quality homes with higher energy efficiency to buyers, we are keen to see house builders embrace innovation and take advantage of new technologies to provide better quality homes to consumers and give them greater choice. Small and medium sized builders who use modern methods of construction to deliver homes can apply for funding from our £4.5 billion Home Building Fund.</p><p>Budgets for the next 10 years will be set in due course.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 19/11/2018 16:26:03 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>Homes England are rightly focused at ensuring more homes are built where the country needs them most, and therefore have no specific commitments regarding energy efficiency of existing stock.</p><p>However, this Government is firmly committed to raising energy efficiency in existing homes and has launched a number of initiatives to tackle this issue. In particular the Clean Growth Strategy aims to ensure that as many homes as possible will be upgraded to an Energy <br> Performance Certificate Band C by 2035, where practical, cost effective and affordable.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/11/2018 16:16:55 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>Homes in the UK represent 15% of carbon emissions and meeting the previous 2050 target would require largely eliminating emissions from our housing stock. With the Government’s new legally binding target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the UK economy by 2050, our current and future actions to encourage home energy efficiency have become all the more crucial.</p><p>Through the Energy Company Obligation, we have supported energy efficiency improvements to over 2 million homes since 2013, and in April 2018 introduced regulations setting minimum energy efficiency standards for privately rented homes. We have committed to extend support for energy efficiency out to 2028, driving more than £6 billion of investment in domestic energy efficiency over the next ten years.</p><p>In the Clean Growth Strategy we set out our aspiration for as many homes as possible to achieve EPC Band C where cost effective, affordable and practical by 2035. This provides a good basis for net zero, providing a cost-effective level of energy efficiency to provide the basis for decarbonisation of heating systems.</p><p>In order to meet this aspiration, we are working to build a vibrant and sustainable market for energy efficiency through introducing a suite of mutually supporting policies and measures that will drive uptake of energy efficiency amongst homeowners. These policies have been informed in part to responses we received to the 2017 Building a Market for Energy Efficiency Call for Evidence and the recently published Green Finance strategy sets out some of our current and future actions in this area.</p><p>By 2025 the Government will also introduce a Future Homes Standard for new build homes to be future-proofed with low carbon heating and world leading levels of energy efficiency, to create healthy homes that are fit for the future, have low energy bills, and are better for the environment. We will provide additional details of the planned introduction of the Future Homes Standard within the 2019 consultation on the energy efficiency standards of the Building Regulations.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 03/07/2019 15:42:36 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
