As a contractor immersed in the world of sustainable housing, Mi-space is expected to achieve a bewildering myriad of requirements for the homes we build. We have grappled with the code for sustainable homes, bent our supply chain to comply, innovated with new products and are pushing the retrofit agenda to the point of obsession.
Meanwhile, the government still seems incapable of coming up with a simple ‘definition’ of what zero-carbon actually is. This defies belief.
Following the Copenhagen summit on climate change melting into a morass of indecision and argument in late December, I would urge Inside Housing to act as a megaphone for our collective voice and make our lords and masters give us a zero-carbon target that we can actually see. We can do it, but we need something tangible to aim at, and we need it now.
