To make 40 percent house happen requires an overarching UK housing and energy strategy covering both the rate of stock turnover and the provision of clean energy.

The 40 percent house scenario is the provision of comfortable homes for all, the development of a sustainable energy industry, and the encouragement of a carbon-conscious society. A 40 percent house future will be realised through a major programme of refurbishment in existing homes; the building of all new homes to a high-energy efficient standard; the uptake of best technologies for lighting and appliances; and the widespread installation of LZC technologies. Securing this future requires a radical shift in perspective from the housing, appliance and energy supply industries as well as policy co-ordination across a number of Government departments. Critical decisions need to be made in several policy arenas to ensure that all stakeholders have the steer they need to develop and implement low carbon solutions. A clear government strategy will enable companies across the housing and energy sector to deliver low carbon solutions and be at the forefront of technological innovation.
