We are committed to becoming net zero in our operations by 2035 and across our value chain by 2045, five years ahead of the UK’s target. Taylor Wimpey was the first UK homebuilder to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard for our overall approach to carbon management, including our policy, strategy and verification of our data and processes. We remain the only volume housebuilder to hold this standard.
In 2025, the Government will make a major update to the standards for new build homes - the Future Homes Standard (FHS) - designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The ultimate goal is to help the UK reach its national net zero target.
Taylor Wimpey is testing a wide range of new technologies and fabric solutions in five trial prototype homes to help provide significant insight into how to address major industry challenges to deliver zero carbon ready homes in readiness for the incoming FHS changes. The aim is to find solutions to build high quality, low carbon homes.
Homes will be built to Future Homes Standards and incorporate various energy efficiency strategies which may include Air Source Heat Pumps, Triple Glazing, Improved Airtightness, Underfloor Heating, Smart Heating Controls, Photovoltaics, Well Insulated Walls, Wastewater Recovery. Broader site sustainability measures include:
- Sustainable Drainage Systems
