The UK’s Future Homes Standard is transforming how homes are heated.
We design smart infrared heating systems that align with low-carbon requirements — without radiators, boilers, or complex pipework.
Heating in the UK Is Changing
The Future Homes Standard requires new homes to significantly reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.
This means:
- No reliance on gas boilers
- Greater use of electric heating systems
- Higher insulation and airtightness
- Smarter energy control
Heating is no longer just a product — it’s part of the building design.
It's About Performance — Not Technology
The Future Homes Standard does not tell you what system to install.
Instead, it defines how your home must perform.
That means:
- Multiple heating systems can comply
- Poor design leads to higher costs
- Early planning is critical
Choosing heating late can result in redesign, inefficiency, and unnecessary expense.

Future Homes Standard Frequently Asked Questions
Infrared heating can support compliance when designed correctly with smart controls and efficient building fabric.
No. The standard focuses on performance, not specific technologies. Multiple systems, including electric heating, can be used if designed properly.
Yes. It is particularly effective in well-insulated, airtight homes where efficient heat delivery and smart control are essential.
When combined with smart controls and good insulation, infrared systems can improve efficiency and reduce wasted energy.
Yes. While the Future Homes Standard focuses on new builds, the same low-carbon principles apply to retrofits. Infrared heating is particularly suitable for upgrades where adding pipework or radiators is difficult.
Yes. Infrared heating is fully electric, making it ideal for integration with solar PV and battery systems. This allows homeowners to maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid energy.
