There has been a call for many years for the UK Government to add insulation to the national infrastructure strategy to help the UK achieve new zero carbon emissions by 2050. Following the National Infrastructure Commission first publication ‘National Infrastructure Assessment’ in July 2018 and then the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the prospect of decarbonisation of the existing housing stock in the UK has increased, but how is this going to be achieved and at what cost?
The Construction Leadership Council provides sector leadership to the construction industry and works collaboratively to address the biggest issues facing the industry, including building safety, skills and labour and the reduction in carbon emissions.
The CLC’s Greening our existing homes (A National Retrofit Strategy) set out a case on how we can achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, by working in partnership with industry, finance and other community-based bodies in providing and delivering a national retrofit strategy for existing homes.
