5. CLG’s Approach to Simplifying Regulation

6. The April 2009 Budget & the Built Environment • Carbon Budget (34% cut by 2020) • CHP Climate Change Levy exemption extension to 2023 • £1.4Bn new funding support for low carbon industries (direct and enabling) • Existing buildings £375m • Support for offshore wind £525m • New technologies (low carbon investment fund) £405m • Small scale renewables through low carbon building programme £45m • Community heating £25m • CCS £60m + £30m • Carbon capture and storage

7. London Plan

8. Government Strategy for Sustainable Construction

9. The Energy, Climate Change and Planning Acts 2008 The Climate Change Act sets a mandatory carbon emissions reduction targets of 80% on 1990 levels by 2050, a move the UK has led the world on. It also sets up a new Climate Change Committee, regular 5 year carbon budgets, the potential for the inclusion of shipping and aviation emissions in targets, charges on single-use carrier bags, and regular mandatory reporting of progress towards climate change adaptation.

10. Climate Change Act & Energy Act • 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 • Carbon budgets (34% by 2020) • Feed-in tariffs • Smart metering required • Renewable heat incentive – financial support for renewable heat generation • Promoting de-centralised energy generation Percentage reductions in UK CO2 emissions from 2006 levels to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 Committee on Climate Change report

25. Zero Carbon – Statement July 2009 • Housing: • Task group to examine the energy efficiency metrics and standards • Carbon Compliance – 70% • Allowable Solutions: • Further carbon reductions on site • Advanced control systems • Export of low carbon or renewable heat from development • Investments in low/zero carbon community heat infrastructure • Cost not exceeding: £100 per tonne of carbon

38. Lighting Power Density Used in Part L 2010

39. Why Change Part F ? • Proposed technical changes for 2010 • Harmonize changes with Part L and ensure that health standards in Approved Document F are not undermined • Changes focus on new dwellings • New requirements/guidance is provided for • The installation and commissioning of ventilation systems • Sound levels from continuous mechanical ventilation • The ventilation of more airtight dwellings • ADF guidance has been designed to work at assumed permeability of 3 m3/(h/m2) at 50 Pa • Making domestic ventilation systems a controlled service

40. Carbon Reduction Commitment (‘Cap and Trade’) • Organisations with energy use over 6,000MWh/year • Mandatory emission trading to cut carbon emissions • Includes Local Authorities • Scheme begins in 2010 • Published league tables

41. Feed-in Tariffs (Clean Energy Cash Back) Money for generating electricity on site Launch April 2010 All electricity generated on site attracts the tariff (whether exported or not) Install now to get maximum tariff Start off tariffs will be fixed and guaranteed for life of project

42. Decentralised Energy: Heating, Cooling and Power Demonstrate that the proposed heating and cooling systems have been selected in accordance with the following order of preference:  connection to existing CCHP/CHP distribution networks site-wide CCHP/CHP powered by renewable energy gas-fired CCHP/CHP or hydrogen fuel cells, both accompanied by renewables communal heating and cooling fuelled by renewable sources of energy gas fired communal heating and cooling.
