I am pleased to announce that today I am laying before the National Assembly the first progress report on the sustainability of the building stock in Wales, as required under the provisions of the Sustainable and Secure Buildings Act 2004\.


The Report considers the progress towards the sustainability of the building stock in Wales. It covers the period following the devolution of Building Regulation powers to the Welsh Ministers until the end of the reporting period specified in the Act.


This is the first report to be published by Welsh Government which is specific to Wales. Previous versions of the report have been published by the Department for Communities and Local Government and were concerned with the sustainability of the building stock in both England and Wales.


The report covers recent changes made to Building Regulations and their expected impact, plans for future legislation, and proposals for the setting of targets in relation to sustainable buildings. The Report also covers changes in the energy and carbon efficiency of the building stock, the extent to which buildings have their own facilities for generating energy, and the recycling and reuse of construction materials over the period.


Following the period covered by the report, the Welsh Government has introduced changes to Building Regulations Part L. These changes include a target of 8% improvement in the energy efficiency of new homes and a 20% improvement for non\-domestic buildings (compared to 2010 standards). There have also been changes to the way that existing buildings are treated. The introduction of ‘Consequential Improvements’ will require homeowners to undertake simple but cost effective mitigation measures whenever they undertake extensions or integrated conversions.


The average energy efficiency rating for new homes has increased since 2009, while carbon dioxide emissions associated with the domestic sector have fallen by 1\.2 million tonnes (15%) since 2008\.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.

Rwyf yn falch o fedru cyhoeddi heddiw fy mod yn gosod gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yr adroddiad cynnydd cyntaf am gynaliadwyedd y stoc adeiladau yng Nghymru, fel sy’n ofynnol o dan ddarpariaethau Deddf Adeiladau Cynaliadwy a Diogel 2004\.

Mae’r Adroddiad yn ystyried y cynnydd a wnaed o ran sicrhau bod y stoc adeiladau yng Nghymru yn gynaliadwy. Mae’n ymdrin â’r cyfnod ar ôl i bwerau dros Reoliadau Adeiladu gael eu dirprwyo i Weinidogion Cymru tan ddiwedd y cyfnod adrodd a bennir yn y Ddeddf.  
Dyma’r adroddiad cyntaf penodol i Gymru i gael ei ddrafftio gan Lywodraeth Cymru am y mater hwn. Cafodd fersiynau blaenorol yr adroddiad eu drafftio gan yr Adran Cymunedau a Llywodraeth Leol ac roeddent yn ymdrin â chynaliadwyedd y stoc adeiladau yng Nghymru a Lloegr.

Mae’r adroddiad yn ymdrin â’r newidiadau a wnaed i’r Rheoliadau Adeiladu yn ddiweddar ac mae hefyd yn ystyried yr effaith y disgwylir i’r newidiadau hynny ei chael. Ymdrinnir hefyd â deddfwriaeth arfaethedig at y dyfodol, a chynigion i bennu targedau mewn perthynas ag adeiladau cynaliadwy. Mae’r Adroddiad yn edrych hefyd ar newidiadau i effeithlonrwydd y stoc adeiladau o ran ynni a charbon, i ba raddau y mae gan adeiladau eu cyfleusterau eu hunain er mwyn cynhyrchu ynni,  ac i ba raddau yr ailgylchwyd ac yr ailddefnyddiwyd deunyddiau adeiladu yn ystod y cyfnod dan sylw.  

Ar ôl y cyfnod yr ymdrinnir ag ef yn yr adroddiad, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyflwyno newidiadau i Ran L o’r Rheoliadau Adeiladu. Ymhlith y newidiadau hynny mae targed o welliant o 8% mewn effeithlonrwydd ynni cartrefi newydd, a gwelliant o 20% ar gyfer adeiladau annomestig (o’i gymharu â safonau 2010\). Cafwyd newidiadau hefyd i’r modd yr ymdrinnir ag adeiladau sydd eisoes yn bod. Ar ôl i ‘Welliannau Canlyniadol’ gael eu cyflwyno, bydd gofyn i berchentywyr gymryd camau lliniaru syml ond costeffeithiol wrth iddynt estyn eu cartrefi neu addasu rhannau ohonynt.  

Mae’r sgôr effeithlonrwydd ynni cyfartalog ar gyfer cartrefi newydd wedi gwella ers 2009, a gwelwyd gostyngiad o 1\.2 miliwn o dunelli (15%) ers 2008 mewn allyriadau carbon deuocsid sy’n gysylltiedig â’r sector domestig.

Cyhoeddir y datganiad hwn yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi’r newyddion diweddaraf i’r Cynulliad. Pe bai unrhyw aelod yn dymuno imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb unrhyw gwestiwn ar ôl y toriad byddwn yn hapus iawn i wneud hynny.
