The next government should make the Treasury responsible for the UK’s Carbon Budget. This would make CO2 as important as money in all decision making.

@BennettsRab And how long does it last? Assuming it’s all doubled glazed, it will all have to be replaced every 30 or so years. Not very resource efficient from any angle!

A lightweight all glass building? How does it pass the most basic energy regulations and standards? Surely the awards judges need to consider this.

This pavilion that won the 2024 Mies van der Rohe Award is obviously very beautiful But in a climate where the ave temp is below 10C for 6 months of the year, that is an awful lot of glass. I wonder what the heating bill is? dezeen.com/2024/04/25/stu…

A major reason for this is that we have offshored a lot of our manufacturing to places like China. So these reduction whilst welcome are a sign of decline.

Confirmation today (no surprises) that the UK outperformed its third carbon budget (CB3). Under the Act, we are duty bound to offer advice on the handling of any ‘surplus’. Our analysis and advice to Government will be published on 28th February. gov.uk/government/new…

"These proposals not only met the CoLC’s commercial requirements, but also met a whole range of UK, GLA and CoLC net zero, retrofit, and carbon policies for this site."♻️

Simon Sturgis: 1/3 👏
"The CoLC received a number of credible and viable proposals for a ‘major refurbishment’ of the existing buildings. "
