BROMBOROUGH, UK, January 09, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Climate Change Bill of 2007 is fully available in PDF format on the builderscrap.com website free to download. The bill sets challenging targets for carbon reductions across the UK. Clearly, buildings would need to deliver significant reductions as part of this overall
target.
The publication of the Code for Sustainable Homes set out targets to achieve radical
emissions reductions from new homes. This project was commissioned to add to the
understanding of whether similar targets in the non-domestic sector can be set and
achieved and on what timescale.
The complexity and scale of this task required an industry-wide analysis. The UK-GBC is
an industry-led, independent, not for profit, membership-based organisation made up of
world class engineering practices, architects, project and cost management consultants,
developers, NGOs and many others including leading academia, and was considered the
best organisation to undertake the research.
In tackling the task the UK-GBC endeavoured to answer the following questions:
1. What is total energy use in non-domestic buildings?
2. Is it feasible to reduce the carbon emissions resulting from this energy use down to
zero?
3. What would be the estimated cost of these carbon emissions reductions?
Over what timescale could zero carbon new non-domestic buildings be achieved?
