520 _aConsiders what legal framework needs to be in place to ensure new homes achieve carbon neutrality by 2016. Notes that changes need to be made to the Building Regulations and PPS3, and outlines the UK government "Code for sustainable homes" (L135998) and consultation document "Building a greener future" (L135908). Highlights various issues that need to be addressed, such as the difference between carbon neutrality and energy efficiency, the fact that photovoltaic cells use use more energy in their creation than they save, the lack of firm guidelines in the "Code for sustainable homes", and how the extra cost of building a carbon neutral home will be met.
