Houses in Britain are going to be super efficient. Starting 2016, all new houses will be zero-carbon in efforts to meet the goal of cutting 80 percent of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 as required in the Climate Change Act. Architects and construction companies are developing energy efficient structures, solar panels, and community heat-sharing systems. However, homeowners may not want to pay 20,000 euros more for a more eco-friendly home.
If I can afford an eco-friendly house, I would definitely one. Britain's new housing plan is a huge process, but it is a good step towards helping the environment. I think by 2050, carbon dioxide emissions will decrease as long as plans like Britain continue to develop.
