Areas covered include: building regulations made over the period and their expected impact; any planned legislation and proposals for the setting of targets in relation to sustainable buildings; the energy and carbon efficiency of the building stock; the extent to which buildings have their own facilities for generating energy; the recycling and reuse of construction materials over the period; and an estimate of the number of dwellings in England and Wales at the end of the reporting period.
