Energy and Housing

Iain Thomson invites Peter Henry (Director of Sustainability, Harworth Group), David Cross (Founder of Sky-House Co) and Melissa Kroger (Managing Director, Fenwood Estates) to discuss how we can make new housing and development more energy efficient. Housing in the UK uses a quarter of its power and generates a fifth of its emissions. Whilst the energy efficiency of housing is considerably better than it used to be, what should we be doing to further accelerate this transition? The panel considers the main barriers to improvement, whilst examining how the efficiency of places should also be treated. They also provide some sage advice for the new Cabinet in addressing the issue within its first hundred days of work..... This podcast took place on the 12th of September and is the second of Bellona Advisors' BetterWorld series, looking at key economic and social issues often overlooked elsewhere. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
