Transforming Scotland's homes and buildings over the next 24 years is a significant investment opportunity that will support supply chains, jobs and a healthy economy.
Alongside raising awareness of the scale of the transition needed for Scotland's building stock, improving quality and consumer trust in the supply chain will be an important part of the journey. The public sector must demonstrate its commitment to transforming Scotland's buildings by taking early and sustained action to decarbonise the public sector estate and improve the energy performance of all public buildings. To achieve this the Scottish Government will consult the Scottish public sector during 2022 to develop and agree a series of phased targets with increased funding available to support delivery of these targets. This will start in 2024, with the most difficult buildings such as acute hospitals being decarbonised by 2038 - for all publicly owned buildings to meet net zero emission heating requirements by 2038.
