Zero carbon what does it mean for homeowners and housebuilders [electronic resource] - [S.l.] IHS BRE 2008

Examines the attitudes of homeowners and housebuilders towards zero carbon homes, with the aim of identifying potential barriers to achieving the 2016 targets. Views are expressed on issues such as climate change, the Code for Sustainable Homes, microgeneration, water conservation, energy saving measures, and thermal efficiency and airtightness. Reveals that homeowners are not adequately informed or ready for the lifestyle changes required to live in zero carbon homes. Housebuilders expressed a strong commitment to address the challenge of zero carbon homes and confidence in their technical abilities, but remain concerned about building to Code Level 6 homes profitably by 2016.
