Snapshot
of the future
Potential savings on carbon emissions generated by the UK’s housing
stock will come largely from converting existing buildings, including
millions of energy-hungry older properties. Ewen Rose reports on an
award-winning refurbishment project that shows how Victorian
housing can be made much greener
Improvements to this
Victorian property in
Brighton, UK, resulted
in a 72 per cent cut in
CO2 emissions, winning
the CIBSE Low Carbon
Refurbishment award.
