England's government delayed implementing new low-carbon housing regulations until March 2028, requiring newly built homes to produce 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those built to 2013 standards through solar panels and heat pumps. The postponement, which yields to pressure from housebuilders, means hundreds of thousands of homes will continue using gas heating despite soaring energy costs and available alternative technologies.
