Sullivan Report -“A Low Carbon Building Standards Strategy For Scotland” (2007)
October 2010 Scottish Building Standards Reduce CO2 emissions from new buildings by 30% beyond 2007 standards
Recommended 2013 Scottish Building Standards Reduce CO2 emissions from new homes by 60% beyond 2007 standards Reduce CO2 emissions from new non domestic buildings by 75% beyond 2007 standards
Actual (2013) October 2015 Scottish Building Standards Reduce CO2 emissions from new homes by 45% beyond 2007 standards Reduce CO2 emissions from new non domestic buildings by 60% beyond 2007 standards
