A strategic roadmap for zero-carbon ready housing and compliance.
This essential briefing explores the newly published Future Homes Standard and its impact on the housing sector. We examine the critical balance between meeting the upcoming 2027 regulations and maintaining development viability.
The publication of the Future Homes Standard (FHS) marks a definitive leap toward a zero-carbon future, establishing a new benchmark for low-carbon, future-proofed housing. With the regulations coming into effect on the 24th of March 2027, the industry must prepare for the end of fossil fuel heating and navigate complex new compliance methodologies. Arriving at a time of significant economic challenge, this session will help housing professionals find a way to deliver these "future-ready" homes without stalling supply.
Why attend?
- Audit your compliance roadmap: Gain clarity on the final FHS mandate, including the removal of gas boilers, new functional requirements for on-site renewable electricity (typically 40% of ground floor area in solar PV) and new homeowner handover requirements.
- Map the transition timeline: Learn how to navigate the operational move towards the 24th of March 2027 implementation date. This includes understanding the 12-month transition period, the interim use of SAP 10.3 and the eventual 24-month dual-run of the Home Energy Model (HEM).
- Evaluate design and technology shifts: Assess the strategic implementation of heat pumps and 4th generation heat networks. Understand how new configuration-based U-value calculations may drive the need for triple glazing.
- Prepare for EPC Reforms: Understand the government's plans for late 2027 to shift Energy Performance Certificates away from single A-G ratings. Learn how the new multiple-metric system (Fabric, Heat, Smart and Cost) will impact your stock reporting.
- Bridge the viability gap: Discover practical strategies to balance increased build costs with economic delivery, leveraging the insight that existing high-fabric designs may only require slight solar uplifts to pass the new standards.
- Strengthen supply chain resilience: Identify current delivery risks and learn how to collaborate with regional contractors to ensure consistent, viable project output in a declining market.
