But new research carried out by estate agent Jackson-Stops found that out of the 2000 people they surveyed, 21% felt it was more important to reduce CO2 emissions when buying or renting a home than living within one mile of transport links. What’s more, 22% of those

James Diggle, the CBI’s head of energy and climate change, explains: “"It's a lose-lose for a business financially, as they
Architects and climate experts have voiced their concern over the construction of glass-fronted skyscrapers due to their impact on climate change. The glass creates a greenhouse effect, trapping the heat and resulting in a large amount of energy being needed to cool down the building.

BEIS argues that without policy interventions, the commercial sector is unlikely to invest in energy efficiency measures, even if the investments are cost-effective. In fact, research from the Clean Growth Strategy recognised
Worthing Council is considering working with the company that owns IKEA to build more homes in the area. The project would see 163 new homes being built off site to be assembled in the area – although BoKlock, the company that owns IKEA, is distancing itself from the IKEA ‘flatpack’ brand, saying: "It is about a high-quality off-site manufacturing process that allows us to assemble them quickly in a safe and sustainable environment, which we
