How can we ensure that all new housing is zero carbon by 2016 and that carbon emissions from existing housing are cut 80% by 2050?

SHAP is the Sustainable Housing Action Partnership whose Vision is to provide leadership in Sustainable Housing by promoting, researching and disseminating best practice in the Environmental, Social and Economic Aspects of Sustainable Housing.

SHAP was originally established as the Sustainable Housing Action Programme in 2005 and has subsequently developed its activities by attracting the support of Partners from leading Social Housing providers, contractors and suppliers including RSLs, ALMOS and Local Authority Housing Services together with Housing Bodies and Builders Merchants and became a Company limited by Guarantee in 2008.

SHAP has developed a range of leading edge projects for implementation by the SHAP partners and the wider housing sector which are set out in detail on the Project page.
