Method of target setting for new non-domestic buildings

To help you answer questions 18 and 19, please read Section 6.2 of the consultation paper.

For question 19, please also refer to Table 6.1 within the Building Standards Technical Handbook: Non-domestic.

18. Do you agree with the proposal to allow the building target rates to fluctuate based only on the location, building type, activity types, heat source and orientation of the new building?
19. Do you agree with the proposal to present the target rates for new non-domestic buildings within a target range table, replacing the notional building specification currently shown in Table 6.1 in the Technical Handbook?
