Healthy Homes Insulation Standard.
The only extra requirement is for rentals with 70-120mm of ceiling insulation that required no work under the 2016 regulations. Under the new standards, they too must meet the 2008 Building Code from 2021.
The minimum level of the ceiling and underfloor insulation under the new standard must either:
a) meet the 2008 Building Code, or
b) for existing ceiling insulation have a minimum thickness of 120mm and be in reasonable condition.
Properties that have added (or already need to add) insulation to meet the 2016 regulations are not affected by the change to the standard since they must still reach the required level of insulation.
