Government should set a trajectory for building regulations to achieve net zero carbon from 2030, as well as introducing long-term incentives for retrofitting homes and commercial buildings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese market signals will be key in driving investment and innovation in the supply chain to meet these challenges and get us on track to meeting the Paris Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also in response to\u00a0May\u2019s speech, Dr Diana Montgomery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionproducts.org.uk\/\">Construction Products Association<\/a> chief executive, said:\u00a0\u201cThe importance of this announcement cannot be underestimated. Our sector employs over 333,000 people and advances will drive a more sustainable, higher skilled workforce. This is a significant opportunity for us and I am pleased construction products have been identified as a contributor towards the UK\u2019s clean growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-sector-gains-250m-under-industrial-strategy\/36739\/\"> Industrial Strategy<\/a> asked us to develop a long-term vision with government. We have stepped forward to demonstrate industry-led innovation, skills for the future, and how the UK can be at the forefront of global construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdvances to halve the energy used by a new building would contribute towards the level of quality and innovation in construction, ultimately saving money for the consumer and giving them more control over how they save energy. Construction products shape the buildings we use and in delivering this mission from government we can have a positive impact on the built environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged that the energy usage of new buildings will be halved by 2030.
