Architects Proposes New Eco-Friendly Building Concepts
Grace Mahas — May 14, 2021The architectural firm Anderson Bell + Christie (AB+C) recently proposed a new housebuilding strategy that guarantees a net-zero carbon emission for new builds and a reduced energy bill. The strategy would "prevent more than 7 million tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere from new homes due to be built in Scotland by 2045." The new net-zero housebuilding strategy can be immediately implemented on a mass scale as the materials and building specifications are readily available.
Jonathan McQuillan, director at Anderson Bell + Christie, said: “Scotland has ambitions to be a net zero society by 2045, therefore it is crucial that we change our approach. The standards we currently use on new homes may save some energy and reduce the cost of living, but they do not get close to achieving zero emissions. We need a new way to build affordable houses as we work to meet Scotland’s housing needs. We need to facilitate net zero choices. We believe that a net zero society must start with net zero housebuilding.”
