2016 Regs to be Watered Down?

The problems of defining, and then actually supplying, zero-carbon homes continue. There does seem to be some muddled thinking going on here. Somehow HMG needs to really think through (i) high quality, low energy-requiring homes and (ii) grid decarbonisation. A community energy fund just feels like the worst kind of off-setting and it's no wonder that the building industry is against it. But I'd be more sympathetic to their case if they'd sort out all the quality issues that exist in their sector. Passivhaus or similar is easily doable - why can't the UK building industry train their employees properly, manage their on-site quality control well, and produce decent homes? And why on earth have we had no prosecutions for homes failing minimum standards?
