Meeting description: We discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of the New Build Heat Standard to phase out fossil fuel boilers in new build homes from April 2024. We highlighted our view that whilst the home building sector is willing and ready to play its part in addressing carbon emissions and reaching climate change targets that the likely constraints in the supply of low carbon heating technologies such as air source heat pumps will have a subsequent knock-on impact on the delivery of new homes in Scotland.
