Have your say on the Scottish Government’s Heat in Buildings Bill
The Scottish Government propose clean heating systems will replace polluting heating systems in Scotland’s homes and buildings by 2045.
The Scottish Government is asking for views on proposals to form part of a Heat in Buildings Bill as set out in the Programme for Government.
Proposals include:
That private rented homes will be required to meet a minimum energy efficiency standard no later than 2028;
That owner-occupied homes will be required to meet the same minimum energy efficiency standard by the end of 2033;
That all homes and non-domestic buildings will be required to end their use of polluting heating by the end of 2045; and
In order to create a smooth trajectory towards 2045, that those purchasing a home or non-domestic property before 2045 would be required to end their use of polluting heating systems within a specific period following that purchase.
