Zero Carbom Homes Target (July 16, 2009)

John Healey, the Housing Minister, announced tougher new energy standards for all new homes today. From 2016, all new houses are to be zero carbon and he launched a review to combine the Government's climate change and renewable energy planning policy statements.
