Leicester's Climate Change Strategy found that the energy requirements of our buildings contribute towards 76% of the city's greenhouse gas emissions. A key objective of the Strategy is to ensure that all new developments are built to the highest standards of energy efficiency and can obtain their requirements from renewable and efficient sources where at all possible.

 

Revised planning policies and the challenges set by Leicester's Climate Change Strategy set a very positive local policy framework within which to achieve high standards of energy management in new development.
