Housing: Lighting

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure the effective management of artificial light in new build homes.

Answer

Part L of the Building Regulations sets standards for the energy efficiency of new build homes. As part of this, it includes standards for lighting efficacy and aims to minimise the energy needed to appropriately light homes. A consultation on updates to Part L of the Building Regulations closed last year. We are carefully considering the feedback received in advance of publishing the new version of Part L later this year.
