Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA)

The Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) is legislation that encourages local authorities to develop strategies to improve energy efficiency in homes. Its goal is to reduce energy use, lower costs, and cut greenhouse gas emissions by promoting measures like better insulation, efficient heating systems, and renewable energy sources. HECA also requires councils to regularly review and report on their progress in making homes more energy-efficient, supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly living practices within communities.
