Energy Efficiency Action Plan
The Scottish Government is developing the Energy Efficiency Action Plan for Scotland with the intention of publishing this in Spring 2010.
Demand for energy continues to grow. Under current production patterns this will lead to increased carbon emissions and tends to drive higher energy prices. Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as the easiest and most cost-effective means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The financial benefits of doing so are clear: industry and society can achieve more with less energy; public services are delivered at lower cost; and fuel poverty is reduced.
The Energy Efficiency Action Plan is both a key commitment which the Scottish Government made in its 10 Energy Pledges and is reaffirmed in the Climate Change (Scotland) Act.
The SPHC was involved in the consultation process to promote highly energy efficient housing for new build and retrofit as well as training facilities for all levels of the built environment.
