Retrofitting needed 'to cut CO2'
-
08 March 2010
Carbon footprint management may be achieved in existing UK properties if retrofitting takes place, according to one expert.
Gordon Miller, founder of Whatgreenhome.com explained that it is vital to have initiatives to encourage people to make green changes to their homes.
He claims that green show homes are a good way to show Britons how to adapt their homes.
Other government schemes are vital if the country is to meet its CO2 initiative of an 80 per cent reduction by 2050.
"Clearly retrofitting and bringing the existing homes up to speed is absolutely critical if we are going to meet our own emissions targets and reduce CO2 emissions," Mr Miller continued.
His comments follow a publication by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, which revealed the Warm Homes, Greener Homes strategy.
It is hoped that there will be a 29 per cent cut of emissions from UK homes by 2020 and that property will undergo a "green transformation".
