Decoding the Future Homes Standard (FHS): A Greener Future for Housing.

Decoding the Future Homes Standard (FHS): A Greener Future for Housing.

The Future Homes Standard is set to be introduced in England in 2025, promising a big shift in how we build and live in our homes. 

While we're still waiting on the exact timeline, the FHS is designed to make homes more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

At its core, the FHS is about reducing the carbon footprint of new homes. 

It sets stricter standards for things like insulation, heating systems, and how airtight a building is. 

The goal is to create homes that need less energy to heat and cool, putting less strain on the environment.

For homeowners, this could mean lower energy bills and a more comfortable living space. 

Plus, with more eco-friendly features, your home might even increase in value over time. 

Of course, there's always a balance. Building to the FHS standard might cost a bit more upfront, and it will take some time for the construction industry to get fully up to speed.

The good news is that the FHS is part of a bigger picture – making homes more sustainable. 

As we wait for more details on the exact implementation, it's definitely a good time to start thinking about what a greener home could mean for you.
