Net zero ready new build housing: Benefits and barriers to delivery

Karampour, Katy; Burgess, Gemma

Abstract

To meet the UK’s legally-binding climate change targets, the Climate Change Committee (2019) and the Sixth Carbon Budget (2020) propose that all new residential buildings should be zero carbon-ready from 2025. Building the zero carbon ready homes required means fundamentally changing the way that we design and build homes in the UK. This research investigates how housebuilders in the affordable housing sector can plan effectively for a zero carbon future by exploring the main challenges and opportunities in delivering net zero carbon ready new build housing in the affordable housing sector.
