Rural Homes: How do they fit with the green agenda?
This episode focuses on the challenge of decarbonising rural homes. For the UK to meet its 2050 net-zero target, greenhouse gas emissions from buildings need to be eliminated. The minimum energy efficiency standards for privately let households are being tightened from 2025, while oil heating is being phased out from 2028. In order to meet these tougher requirements, rural landlords should start thinking about the transition of their properties to low-carbon heating. Hermione Warmington, CLA Property and Business Policy Adviser, shares with us why rural households are so challenging to decarbonise and the options that are available for low-carbon, off-gas heating. You will hear what the current government regulations are, and how the Green Homes Grant scheme can help you decarbonise your rural property.
