Key information ranking performance - based on use of sustainability/renewables
CONCLUSIONS:
THE MAJORITY OF DEVELOPERS ALL SCORE A MINUS FIGURE
SCANDALOUS DEMONSTRATION OF THE STATE OF THE NEW HOMES INDUSTRY
TOTAL LACK OF ATTENTION PAID TO THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY.
Below, the table shows the criteria which we used to measure the performance of the developers researched over 11 categories. They are split into three groups - renewable energy, transport and mitigation features.
None of the major developers are routinely installing any form of renewable energy. Little effort is used to promote the transfer to electric vehicles, (or bicycles), despite the imminent ban on the petrol/diesel engine.
Some are using low cost mitigation features, that should be standard, and have low climate impact. We stress this should be STANDARD in the 21st Century, not something to shout about.
