The British Government is being urged to implement an 'energy efficiency' buildings strategy.
The strategy would help reduce fuel bills and alleviate fuel poverty.
SDLP Foyle MP Mark Durkan is supporting the parliamentary motion.
Mr Durkan said: "One of the most important infrastructure priorities we face today is to stop homes from leaking heat, which would save hard-pressed families in Derry and throughout the North hundreds of pounds on their energy bills and help to end fuel poverty once and for all.
"I note with interest that the Sustainable Energy Association Manifesto demonstrates how an energy from buildings strategy would save every person in the UK £186 per year – as well as the wider economy £12 billion a year.
"Greater energy efficiency and the installation of cost-effective measures to generate energy from buildings would reduce fuel bills, help to alleviate fuel poverty and achieve low carbon homes."
