建築業如何實現淨零住宅
建築業如何實現淨零住宅
The Good Homes Alliance has launched a new campaign calling for urgent action from the construction industry to build carbon-neutral homes. 「立即建構淨零」活動 敦促政府制定在 2030 年實現零碳家庭的目標。
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.
美好家園聯盟是由 100 多個組織組成的聯盟，其中包括住房協會、 建築 實踐、建築公司、 再生能源 供應商和環保組織。
建築業的行動號召
美好家園聯盟呼籲建築業採取緊急行動，使我們的家園對氣候產生正面影響。該聯盟由 100 多個組織組成，從建築師到住房協會，他們都在呼籲變革。
該活動基於這樣一個事實：我們的家庭排放了大量的溫室氣體，而我們需要緊急對此採取行動。第一步是確保所有新房屋的建造都是對氣候有利的，這意味著它們吸收的二氧化碳多於排放的二氧化碳。這可以透過使用再生能源、適當的房屋隔熱和使用低碳材料等措施來實現。
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.
建築業須加快發展零能耗住宅
建築業消耗了大量的世界能源。事實上，根據 可持續發展 基礎，
“建築業約佔全球能源使用量的 40% 和全球溫室氣體排放量的 24%。”
好消息是，該行業開始意識到其環境責任，並且正在採取多項措施來促進零能耗住房。中小企業開發商在這一領域處於領先地位，多個開創性項目已經啟動並運行。
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.
