Sustainable Housing We have to act now to help prevent climate change, this has been scientifically proven and urgent action is required. The government is committed to this and has introduced strict guidelines for new build properties to reduce their levels of carbon output throughout the build and the life of the housing stock through to its final clearance. The Government is committed to this as shown by the draft Climate Change Bill proposing to cut carbon emissions by 60 per cent by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. Building sustainable homes is more than just the carbon footprint associated with the property. It is also about how we build and use the house and how we minimise the impact our homes have on the environment such as in the use of water, the way waste is generated and the materials the house is built from.
