Insulation: Housing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to improve public (a) awareness of and (b) access to loft insulation protection to improve energy efficiency.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

There are several Government schemes offering loft insulation as a measure to improve energy efficiency. The Government’s retrofitting tool ‘find ways to save energy in your home’ (https://www.gov.uk/improve-energy-efficiency), provides tailored guidance to help consumers make their homes greener and cheaper to run.

All businesses under Government schemes and initiatives must be TrustMark registered. These businesses must be certified to Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2030 and follow PAS 2035 standards. TrustMark's role under Government schemes is to ensure compliance with the overarching PAS 2035 process, setting clear requirements to protect consumer.
