new hoes are secifi ed and constructed to be hihly enery effi cient, use low carbon heatin solutions, and be ero carbon ready


olar  is eected to lay a central role when the fi nalised secifi cation templates are released, and the housebuildin sector will have to resond accordinly The  fi ures erhas underline that a roofto revolution is already underway


n addition accordin to aa,


there are now around , full electric and a further , luin hybrid vehicles on UK roads, and the adoption of electric powered transportation is well underway or such drivers, the convenience and cost savin benefi ts of hoe charin facilities are iortant  charer solutions can also be the answer for housebuilders lookin to coly with the reuireent of art  of the uildin eulations, which reuires all new hoes with arkin to have  charin caability


s housebuilders take strateic


decisions to ensure they coly with new buildin standards, and try to satisfy consuer sentient for sustainable solutions, it is iortant they are fully aware of the array of roofrelated, syste led renewable technoloy solutions as art of a full syste, which are now available to deliver real enery effi ciency and lonter sustainability ains eetin sustainability obectives will be an area of rowin focus for the housebuildin sector throuh  and in the lead u to  industry resonses that include sinle source ackaes of renewable technoloy syste suort will be valuable


This eans one sto sho solution availability to hel housebuilders, any of whom will not have the time available to source fro a ultitude of suliers for the varied coonents that ake u a hih erforin and sustainable roof and other associated renewable technoloies ecifyin roducts like solar roof tiles eans housebuilders can select the entire pitched roof system, with integrated solar,


fro a sinle source, akin it easier to incororate solar into any house tye and helin to naviate a costeffective route alon the road to net ero oe EV chargers also have the ability to be connected to solar panels on the roofscae so households can access clean, renewable, and cheaper energy in the hoe and ower u their electric vehicles at the sae tie


nterated solar  as art of a full


roofi n syste to aesthetically leasin and high performing EV home charging caability, are ust two of the sustainable roduct solutions that can suort the housebuildin sector as it transitions to a low carbon future


ccessin such answers via a sinle source stratey based on a artnershi with proven experts can be a smart business ove as sustainable secifi cation ressures and reulatory obliations ount for the housebuilder sector
