Sustainability in a built environment

 

Alix Bedford, Zurich Municipal’s Risk Proposition Manager, recently spoke to ALARM about the importance of building sustainably now to create better homes and resilient futures for communities, as well as meet zero carbon goals.

Zero carbon targets and energy efficiency measures are driving changes to the way we plan, design, build and occupy homes. With a national net zero carbon target of 2050, and a requirement for all new homes to be zero carbon ready by 2025, progress is imperative.

In this piece we consider what factors there are to consider to ensure that when building or improving homes and what are the key sustainability questions people need to be asking themselves. We need to ensure not only are we reaching sustainability targets now and in the future, but also that we are building homes people will love living in, and love living in for many years.
