Building professionals

We work with building professionals involved in designing, specifying, planning or installing to help promote the sustainable use of energy in homes.

We set energy efficiency standards for the housing industry that go beyond current building regulations. Covering good, best and advanced practice, they provide an integrated package of measures for all aspects of new build and refurbishment. Find out more about the Energy Saving Trust's standards, here.
