Jak může stavební průmysl dosáhnout čisté nuly domů

The Good Homes Alliance has launched a new campaign calling for urgent action from the construction industry to build carbon-neutral homes. Kampaň Build Net Zero Now naléhavě žádá vládu, aby si do roku 2030 stanovila cíl pro domy s nulovými emisemi uhlíku.

It wants the construction industry to meet this target by retrofitting existing homes and building new homes to high energy efficiency standards. The campaign also calls for an end to the use of fossil fuels for heating and hot water in new homes, and all new homes to be designed and built to be zero carbon from the start.

Aliance pro dobré domovy je koalice více než 100 organizací, včetně bytových družstev, architektura praxe, stavební firmy, energie z obnovitelných zdrojů poskytovatelé a ekologické skupiny.

Výzva stavebního průmyslu k akci 

Good Homes Alliance vyzvala stavební průmysl k naléhavým opatřením, aby naše domovy byly klimaticky pozitivní. Alianci tvoří přes 100 organizací, od architektů po bytová družstva, a všechny volají po změně.

The campaign is based on the fact that our homes are responsible for a huge amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and that we need to urgently do something about it. The first step is to make sure that all new homes are built to be climate positive, meaning that they absorb more carbon dioxide than they emit. This can be achieved through things like using renewable energy, insulating homes properly, and using low-carbon materials.

The Good Homes Alliance also is calling on the government to set ambitious targets for new homes and to provide support to the construction industry to help make these changes happen. With climate change reaching a tipping point, it is essential that we take action now, and the Good Homes Alliance’s campaign is a vital part of this.

Stavebnictví musí urychlit rozvoj bydlení s nulovou spotřebou energie

Stavební průmysl je zodpovědný za obrovské množství světové spotřeby energie. Ve skutečnosti, podle Udržitelný rozvoj Nadace, 

„Stavební sektor představuje přibližně 40 % celosvětové spotřeby energie a 24 % celosvětových emisí skleníkových plynů.

The good news is that the industry is beginning to wake up to its environmental responsibilities and there are several initiatives underway to promote zero-energy housing. SME developers are leading the way in this area, with several pioneering projects already up and running.

However, if the construction industry is to meet its climate change obligations, it needs to accelerate the development of zero-energy housing. This will require a significant change in mindset, as well as significant investment in research and development. But the rewards will be more than worth it, both in terms of mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable future for us all.
