<p>The Future Homes Standard will require all new build homes to have low carbon heating.
Cooking appliances are not controlled under the Building Regulations, however, we
expect that many developers will choose not to install new gas connections in developments
adopting the Future Homes Standard. There are a range of alternatives, including modern
electric and induction hobs, which are cleaner and safer to use than gas, cheaper
to install and maintain, and better for the environment.</p><p>The Future Homes Standard
is about building homes that are affordable to buy, affordable to run, and help to
meet our climate change commitments. We will set out further details as part of our
2019 consultation on the energy efficiency requirements of the Building Regulations.</p>
