		+
		+	On 15 December 2021 the government announced changes to the building regulations to the help UK deliver net zero. This includes a requirement for new homes to produce around 30% less CO2 than current standards and a 27% reduction of emissions from other new buildings, including offices and shops.
		+
		+	The changes follow a public consultation and come into effect from 15 June 2022, paving the way for the Future Homes and Buildings Standard in 2025, which will mean all future homes are net zero ready and will not need retrofitting.
		+
		+	All new residential buildings, including homes, care homes, student accommodation and children’s homes, must also be designed to reduce overheating. Improvements to ventilation are also being introduced to support the safety of residents in newly-built homes and to prevent the spread of airborne viruses in new non-residential buildings.
		+
		+	Alongside amendments to the Building Regulations, 5 new Approved Documents were published:
		+
		+	* Approved Document L, volume 1: dwellings
		+	* Approved Document L, volume 2: buildings other than dwellings
		+	* Approved Document F, volume 1: dwellings
		+	* Approved Document F, volume 2: buildings other than dwellings
		+	* Approved Document O covering overheating
