A parliamentary committee has called for an acceleration of the Code for Sustainable Homes standard for new properties.

A report by the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee says it is 鈥減uzzled鈥� why it is 鈥渘ot already mandatory to build all new housing鈥� to the zero carbon standard. 鈥淭he Government must not only require all new houses to be built to a 鈥榸ero carbon鈥� standard well before 2016, but must ensure that existing regulations are rigorously enforced,鈥� it says.

The report, called Climate change: the 鈥渃itizen's agenda鈥� also calls for feed-in tariffs for household microgeneration of renewable energy to be made available. "The existing combination of grants and Renewable Obligation Certificates is far too unreliable and unwieldy for domestic and community microgeneration, and risks losing citizen engagement,鈥� it says.

And it criticises the Government鈥檚 own record in greening its estate. 鈥淭here is an important role for public buildings and public investment in leading the way by example, but very little evidence of this taking place. The Government鈥檚鈥攁nd Parliament鈥檚鈥攑oor record regarding its own estate fails to set a good example.鈥�
