As part of the UK Government’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the UK is to submit its long-term renovation strategy (LTRS) detailing its strategy to support the renovation of buildings, in addition to reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide emissions of the building stock (the total number of buildings in the UK).
