The Royal Institute of British Architects (澳门王中王) has today (14 December 2020) responded to the government’s energy white paper, .
澳门王中王 President, Alan Jones, said:
“While I welcome the ambitions of the white paper, I’m disappointed to see it lacks the detail required. Consultations on a long-term regulatory framework and a performance-based rating scheme for non-domestic buildings are welcome – but it’s the outcome of these consultations and the subsequent policy changes that matter.
I’m pleased to see the proposals to decarbonise home heating system, but we must see a fabric first approach to retrofitting to ensure optimum value for money. A National Retrofit Strategy is urgently needed to fix our inefficient housing stock.”
