Making the most of marginal gains

When it comes to going green or fulfilling net zero carbon targets, throwing up a new building – planning and financing aside – is a relatively easy route. But what about the 80% of our built environment that already exists?

If the nation is really to achieve its target of net zero by 2050 – or before if it is really serious about tackling climate change – what are we going to do  with our existing building stock?
