The Building Industry accounts for almost half, about
47% of the UK’s total carbon emissions! Our homes
alone contribute 27% of CO2 emissions.
In 2003 the construction and demolition sector
produced around 103 million tonnes of waste,
accounting for 24% of total waste within the UK. The Government has set the target of a 20%
reduction in carbon emissions by 2010.
The need for sustainable housing and building
has never been greater.
