Sustainable homes and building coalition launched

Last year, NatWest Group launched a ‘Sustainable Homes and Buildings Coalition’, with British Gas, Worcester Bosch, and Shelter, to improve UK buildings energy efficiency, and to address the key blockers to meeting net zero in the UK buildings environment.

Citizens Advice is acting in an advisory capacity to the coalition on the needs of, and challenges faced by consumers in the transition to net zero.

Its first report, Home is where the Heat is, goes into detail on how the UK can decarbonise homes and buildings.

Carl Arntzen, CEO of Worcester Bosch said: “There is no silver bullet to reach net zero emissions from home and building heating, it requires a mix of technologies working together. It is vital that homeowners understand what would work for their property and what support they can receive.

“This is why we are fully in support of the Coalition and its first report. We believe it is a firm step towards educating and empowering consumers and installers to make greener choices when it comes to their home heating.
