This chapter provides a brief history of the UK housing sector and the developments in terms of heating and cooling demand, and energy efficiency related policies introduced by the government to improve indoor environmental quality, especially the occupants’ thermal comfort.

It discusses the building standards including the Building Regulations Part L and the Home Rating Systems, e.g., Energy Saving Trust (EST) Good/Best/Advanced practices, Code for Sustainable Homes (CfSH), Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB), and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). It also reviews the direction of UK building standards for the future to fulfil the government’s various targets.
