The bad news: Every building on the planet needs to be net-zero carbon by 2050 to keep global warming below 2 degrees.
The good news: 80% of all the buildings we’ll have in 2050 have already been built,this means we can start making them zero carbon now.
In the UK we must retrofit between 24 and 29 million homes. This is essential because heating and powering homes make up 23% of the UK's carbon footprint.
Response: Retro-fitting all our buildings is one of the largest challenges and opportunities facing the UK’s built environment. This presentation will propose the optimistic case for going beyond retro-fitting and offer a practical methodology for how we can turn this mammoth challenge into a renaissance for our homes, workplaces, communities, towns and cities.
