The Existing Homes Alliance, a newly formed coalition of housing and environmental organisations, businesses and government agencies, including the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes, is spearheading concerted action to reduce the environmental impact of the UK's existing housing stock.
The prediction is that 85 per cent of today's homes will still be in use by 2050 which means the UK will fall drastically short of its long range targets to reduce carbon emissions unless collaborative and immediate action is taken.
It is accepted that deep cuts of at least 80 per cent are needed by 2050, with major progress by 2020. According to the Alliance, this requires the UK to radically refurbish up to half a million homes every year starting now.
