In the March 2008 budget, Government announced its
ambition that all new non-domestic buildings should be zero carbon
from 2019.
Government has identified the goal that all new school buildings
should be zero carbon by 2016. New residential developments will
have to meet code level 6 from 2016. By 2021 Cambridgeshire
is due to build 73,300 new homes, supporting this growth will be a
large number of public sector buildings, schools, community
centers, health care etc. Driving the standards to which these
buildings are constructed will be a raft of new legislation.
This is the first of
a number of Cambridgeshire Horizons events, which looks at
Sustainable Construction, with the aim of developing knowledge and
skills in the public sector to procure and design new public
buildings to zero carbon standards and to look at the policy
drivers.
The aim of this
first event is to:
- outline policy
drivers for building more sustainably
- highlight the
timelines for the proposed introduction of legislation
- see what a zero
carbon building looks like and how they perform
- hear people's
experience of delivering no/low carbon buildings.
