Opposition MPs are adding to pressure on businesses to comply with commercial property CO2 regulations.
Businesses have been criticised for failing to comply with CO2 disclosure regulations on their
development investment properties.
Shadow housing minister Grant Shapps has told the Independent that it is imperative businesses comply with rules concerning building emissions disclosure in order for the UK to meet its climate change targets.
He told the newspaper that urgent action is needed to ensure compliance across
commercial development and other business sectors.
"We know that meeting the challenge of climate change requires thousands of small steps to be taken," he explained. "We will start by recognising the energy performance of all buildings, domestic or commercial."
The comments come after environmental solutions pressure group the Green Alliance suggested that Britain has the potential to become a leader in carbon emissions reduction technology.
Associate at the Green Alliance Chris Hewett also warned that the country needs to reduce carbon emissions urgently.
