uin	HL16213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The Building Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for new homes and non-domestic buildings. The principal way that developers demonstrate compliance is through a whole building energy calculation. For a new building, the properties of the glazing and façade would be taken into account in the calculation of overall energy performance and therefore the carbon emissions from the building.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 24/06/2019 14:49:54 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the announcement made on 22 April by the New York City Mayor that he intends to ban glass clad skyscrapers because of their contribution to global warming; and whether they consider it to have any implications for future construction of high rise buildings in the UK.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>The Building Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for new homes and non-domestic buildings. They 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 practical and cost effective solutions in particular circumstances. We plan to consult in the coming months on improving energy efficiency requirements in new and existing buildings where the evidence suggests it is cost effective, affordable, practical and safe to do so.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 14/05/2019 15:30:17 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
