This is year zero
Miller, Vikki
This is year zero - 2007 - Building 272(8463) 19 January 2007, 28-30(3) .
Discusses the challenges faced by housebuilders of achieving zero carbon housing by 2016. Highlights industry initiatives, including HBF moves to draw up a 10 year plan setting out dates for when the prototypes of green homes should be finished. Illustrates how the housebuilder's traditional role will change, such as working in close partnerships with utilities. Provides advice on achieving zero carbon homes, such as meeting electric demand through photovoltaics, design for future proofing, and reducing the need for heat and power. Also includes individual costings for various elements of a three bedroomed zero carbon home (ie wind turbine, ground source heat pump, photovoltaic panels etc). Concludes with a countdown to 2016, based on the "Code for sustainable homes" (L135998).
