sustainability in homes and housing... our overiding goal... and the government's mandate
The government in, its right minded quest to reduce the impact of construction and housing on the environment, is driving contractors and local authorities to thin about new ways of doing things.
"Our homes currently produce 27% of all carbon emissions. We were the first country in the world to announce a zero-carbon target for new homes. We have to build more sustainable homes and more affordable homes at the same time. this cannot be achieved without the commitment and support of local councils, home builders, the construction supply industry, other housing groups and local communities across the countr." Announced Yvette Cooper MP 2007
