Full story: Towards Zero Carbon (26-Sep-07)

The Government has specified that by 2016 all new houses should be zero carbon rated. In June 2007 The Stewart Milne Group, one of the UK’s leading privately owned house builders, celebrated the completion of its first five star rated, near zero carbon show homes. The homes have a range of environmentally friendly features, and are designed to meet all nine elements of the Governments Code for Sustainable Homes, it is expected that they will go into commercial production well in advance of the 2016 target.
