Scottish Government plans to reduce fuel poverty and carbon levels will be unveiled by the housing minister.
Scotland’s Sustainable Housing Strategy sets out measures for all homes to have loft and cavity-wall insulation where possible by 2020.
It also proposes that every home with gas central heating should have an energy-efficient boiler with appropriate controls within the same timeframe.
Margaret Burgess will outline the strategy at Holyrood Connect’s Sustainable Housing conference in Glasgow.
“It is my belief that everyone should live in a safe, warm home that doesn’t cost the earth to heat,” she said.
“Rising energy bills remain a huge concern for this Government. That is why over 2013-14 we are investing £79 million to help people to keep their energy bills down.
“This funding will see thousands of homes across Scotland receive new measures like solid-wall insulation and better heating systems.
“It sets out the work we have done to date to help improve the energy efficiency of our homes and lays out our vision for a greener, cleaner Scotland.”
