Climate change and energy are arguably the two biggest issues facing the world today. Building homes for high energy efficiency is one of the key ways that we can make a substantial difference, and many self-builders are already grappling with the challenge.
In the light of this, Selfbuilder + Homemaker decided to conduct a survey of our readership on building low carbon homes. The findings, captured in our first ‘Selfbuilder Survey,’ cover the ins and outs of creating comfortable homes with low carbon emissions, and which cost far less to run. It provides some interesting pointers for anyone looking to ‘go green.’
