England parliamentarians are now pushing for green building in the UK to stop high bills and carbon emissions.
The statement backed by experts has urged ministers to take all the necessary steps steps now to ensure that all homes are built to the most efficient low-carbon standards, or risk locking households into higher bills and greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come.
The government is mulling changes to the building regulations in England to bring in a “future homes standard” that would require all new homes to be built with low-carbon equipment such as heat pumps and solar panels.
Low-carbon building experts disagree. A recent study from the MCS Foundation found that equipping homes with heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage would save households living in a typical three-bedroom house more than £46,600 on energy bills over the course of a 25-year mortgage.
Building green houses to reduce carbon emissions is a great venture to secure sustainability. I hope this standards will be met by contractors now and in the future not only in the UK but across the globe.
