In the Government’s Clean Air Strategy 2019, we committed to consulting on changes to the ventilation standards (Part F) of the Building Regulations, which is an important component of managing indoor air quality.

We launched the Future Homes Standard Consultation in 2019, which contained the results of our review of the latest evidence on the indoor air quality parameters that underpin ventilation requirements in new homes. The consultation closed on 7 February 2020; we are carefully considering the responses received and a government response will be published in due course.

Within this consultation, we also committed to consult further on ventilation standards for new non-domestic buildings and for building work to existing buildings.
