Social housing net zero standard: consultation

This consultation seeks views on a new Social Housing Net Zero Standard (SHNZS) in Scotland. This new standard will replace the second Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH2).


9. Review and Next Steps

We propose that the new SHNZS be monitored and reviewed to assess progress towards net zero, the cost of investment needed to meet the standard, and the aims of ensuring a just transition. We propose to carry out this review in 2029/30.

The Scottish Government will commission an independent report on responses to this consultation. We will reflect on this and publish a response setting out what we will do next.

The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR), will have responsibility for monitoring social landlord’s performance with SHNZS via the Annual Return on the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
