I suppose modern houses can at least be insulated better than existing
houses are.

Maybe the idea is to encourage developers/builders to fit better
insulation.

That's easy enough - just update the building regs with a higher
minimum level for new builds / substantial alterations.


its reached the limit of usefulness already. Unless you add heat
recovery ventilation you cant really add much to a modern house thermal
wise.

Or quad glaze the windows.

Yup, I was not suggesting it was a good idea, but it would be simpler
than some convoluted social engineering effort brought about by banning
gas heating etc.
