<p><a target="_blank">We have proposed an ambitious uplift in the energy efficiency
of new homes through the Future Homes Standard. </a>These homes will be ‘zero carbon
ready’, with the ability to become fully zero carbon homes as the electricity grid
decarbonises, without the need for further costly retrofitting work.</p><p>The Government
is providing funding (including the green homes grant) and making regulatory changes
(including consulting on increased minimum standards for the Private Rented Sector)
to improve existing homes. Our forthcoming <em>Heat and Buildings Strategy </em>will
set out further actions.</p>
