The healthy homes bill is due to take affect in July 2021. By then certain standards have to be met.
The main areas the standards focus on are
- Heating
- Insulation
- Ventilation
- Drafts
- Dampness
Heating will mean that most properties might need fixed heating(heat pump) in the main living area (lounge).
With Insulation you might be fine if you have had it done in the past few years or a top up might suffice.
Ventilation rules address the need for extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom that actually take the air outside.
Drafts and Dampness could mean as fixing wooden windows and ensuring a moisture barrier is under the floors(if accessible)
