Insulation: Industry
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of adopting EN 17956 Energy Efficiency Class C or above for insulation systems used in industrial applications.
Answered by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
No specific assessment has been made of the impact of adopting EN 17956 Energy Efficiency Class C insulation systems. The government incentivises eligible businesses to become more energy efficient through the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme. This is a voluntary agreement under which eligible sectors receive reduced Climate Change Levy (CCL) rates in return for meeting agreed energy efficiency targets. Higher-performing insulation is expected to reduce heat loss and improve efficiency, and may be one way businesses seek to meet their energy efficiency targets.
