The publication of the new Future Homes Standard marks the next iterative step change in residential design and compliance.
From March 2027, key requirements will include:
๐ข The integration of solar PV as a standard design consideration
๐ข Conversions subject to more stringent, new-build aligned performance criteria
๐ข Transition from gas boilers to low-carbon heating, such as air source heat pumps
๐ข Compliance assessed through ๐๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ (๐๐๐) 10.3 and later, the new ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ (๐๐๐)
These changes will have a substantial impact on how residential developments are designed, specified, and delivered.
Ingleton Wood’s sustainability and building services teams are actively reviewing the new guidance and undertaking detailed analysis to understand the practical implications for our projects and clients, ensuring we continue to provide informed, forward-thinking advice.
With the transition arrangements bringing the new regs into force by March 2027, early engagement will be critical to ensuring compliance, managing risk, and optimising design outcomes.
