'A' GRADE ENERGY RATING MUST BECOME STANDARD FOR NON-DOMESTIC BUILDINGS

摘要

Britain's commercial, industrial and public buildings need to improve from an average of an E energy rating today to C by 2020 and A by 2050 in order for the UK to meet its national carbon reduction obligations, according to a new report released by the Carbon Trust. 'Building the future, today' confirms that urgent focus on the non-domestic building sector is needed to keep the UK on track to deliver carbon reductions of 80% by 2050. Currently, 18% of the country's emissions can be attributed to the non-domestic building sector and these emissions have remained static forthe last 20 years.
