We are pleased to see that an independent voice in construction and building design industry has stepped up and confronted the government on there green building policies. Grand Designs and Kevin McCloud are fronting the Great British Refurb, a campaign to enable the public to feasibly refurbish there own properties without becoming a green building financial martyr.
This has come at a time when the latest revision to the building regulations have made the decision to exclude mandatory improvements to whole households, when carrying out minor works such as extensions and loft conversions. This may make far more sense in the long run, all stick and no carrot is not the approach to improve our buildings stock.
All members of the Ecotecture team have signed up to the petition on the GBR website and we would encourage you to do so too. Lets change the way we look at building from the top down! See the link below:-
