The Climate Change Committee has been clear about the growing policy gap, and businesses and public sector bodies are already struggling with high energy costs. While it is positive to see the Government intends to explore private finance models, without a clear, immediate strategy for non-domestic buildings we risk missing both our climate targets and the opportunity to deliver cost and health benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The BCIA stresses that further clarity is needed<\/h3>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/public-sector-decarbonisation-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS)<\/a> comes to an end in 2028, alternative approaches like Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) to support the decarbonisation of the public sector estate will be essential to provide longer-term certainty and unlock investment.<\/p>\n<p>The BCIA is calling on the Government to urgently publish its plans for decarbonising the non-domestic sector. A clear and comprehensive strategy would provide much-needed certainty for commerce, education, healthcare and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/building-with-sunshine-why-building-with-timber-smartest-energy-decision\/154593\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wider decarbonisation supply chain<\/a>, enabling investment and delivery at the scale and pace required.<\/p>\n<p>The BCIA and its members stand ready to work with Government to develop and implement solutions that improve energy performance, lower costs and accelerate decarbonisation across the UK\u2019s non-domestic building stock.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-158608 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BCIA-Logo-colour.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BCIA-Logo-colour.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BCIA-Logo-colour-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) welcomes the Government\u2019s Warm Homes Plan but is disappointed that the Plan includes no new policies or funding commitments to support the decarbonisation of non-domestic buildings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":158610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[429,145559,430,276],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-158594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-energy-news","8":"tag-building-control","9":"tag-emissions","10":"tag-energy-efficiency","11":"tag-government"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BCIA responds to Government\u2019s Warm Homes Plan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The BCIA welcomes the Government\u2019s Warm Homes Plan but is let down by the lack of support for the decarbonisation of non-domestic buildings\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/bcia-responds-governments-warm-homes-plan\/158594\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BCIA responds to Government\u2019s Warm Homes Plan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The BCIA welcomes the Government\u2019s Warm Homes Plan but is let down by the lack of support for the decarbonisation of non-domestic buildings\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/bcia-responds-governments-warm-homes-plan\/158594\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
