Zero emissions homes within reach
September 17, 2009
Towards climate safe homes, a report presenting the case for zero emissions and water saving homes and neighbourhoods has been released by Environment Victoria in partnership with ATA, ACF, FoE and the Moreland Energy Foundation.
In the wake of Victoria's warmest and driest winter on record, environment groups today called for new building standards to reduce emissions and water use, and to help the state's homes and families cope with future temperature and price shocks.
The call coincides with the release of a new report today, which shows that with the right government support and with efforts to fast‐track stronger environmental building standards, Victorian homes and neighbourhoods could be emissions‐free and water efficient by 2020.
