Originally planned for 2025, the Future Homes Standard has felt like a bit of a myth in energy policy…
But now, it’s finally here. ⚡
So what does this actually mean for households? 🧵
#futurehomesstandard #electrifybritain
Ambition for new builds must be matched with action on existing homes. That means insulation, targeted support, and pricing reform so people see the benefits on their bills.

🏠The Future Homes Standard is a clear step in the right direction. Solar panels and heat pumps as standard in new homes should have happened years ago.

We’ll keep watching (and searching) throughout March.
If you spot the FHS before we do… let us know.

Has anyone seen the Future Homes Standard?
Promised back in 2019, we’re still waiting. The latest promised release date is the end of this quarter - with one month to go, we’ll be keeping a very close eye on developments.

E.ON Next and Cotswold Oak Homes launch first ‘Lower Bills, Built In’ development to deliver predictable, low-cost energy for new build homes.

With gas boilers and electric heating unlikely to meet the Future Homes Standard, put compliance peace of mind at the heart of your development with STIEBEL ELTRON's 2 in 1 heat pumps with MVHR.

Would make more sense to put the battery in and leave the solar panels for the householder! But if the batteries are mandated in the #FutureHomesStandard, the unit price would plummet as bulk purchasing started. How many times do we need to say "Watch the #NEBriefing"?? @nebriefing.bsky.social
Home batteries save people on energy bills and improve grid efficiency - why would you not want to support that? #FutureHomesStandard

Thanks Nick Timothy MP for the engaging discussion around #FutureHomesStandard today at #CPC25. It was good to go through #HeatPump data for your constituency with you.
Listen to our CEO Garry Felgate’s interview on LBC News discussing the #FutureHomesStandard.
Garry welcomed DESNZ's announcement that the vast majority of new homes will have #SolarPanels & #HeatPumps, in a huge win for #NetZero.

The inclusion of #solarPV in #FutureHomesStandard shows lessons learn from the past.
There is more to learn. We’ve reflected on our experience over the past two decades in our #WarmHomes #WhitePaper to identify barriers and how to address them.

In a huge win for #NetZero, The MCS Foundation has welcomed the #Government’s announcement that the vast majority of new homes will have #SolarPanels and #HeatPumps under the #FutureHomesStandard.

As reported by @theguardian.com, the #FutureHomesStandard could make the UK one of the largest #HeatPump markets in #Europe. It could boost heat pump sales, support #local manufacturing, and create skilled #jobs while also saving households significant costs.

🏠 We back the #FutureHomesStandard and its aim to ensure new homes are zero-carbon and don’t lock in fossil fuel heating
But to truly end fuel poverty, the Govt must go further with stronger fabric standards, real support for vulnerable households, and no backsliding on social housing protections
With #FutureHomesStandard 2025 approaching, we're tackling low-carbon heating. Sunamp & Kensa decarbonised 364 apartments in Northern England, replacing gas boilers with Thermino heat batteries & Kensa pumps. Saves 70-80% CO2. Meet us at Futurebuild to discuss this project. 🌍
This week 18 years ago (Dec 2006), the housing industry welcomed proposals that all new homes will be Zero Carbon.
Yet we are still 2.5 years away from this taking effect... but we can and must go faster (while improving returns).

Looking forward to a day on the #FutureHomesStandard tomorrow at the #FutureHomesHub Conference at the #TheIET.
Who knows... maybe the consultation will finally be launched!
Will be great to talk #ZeroBills with people too...
