Did you know that heating accounts for nearly a quarter of the UK's carbon emissions? 🔥 The UK government’s Heat and Buildings Strategy is working to decarbonise 30 million homes and commercial buildings by promoting energy-efficient upgrades like heat pumps and improved insulation. These changes won't just help the planet—they're set to create up to 240,000 green jobs by 2035 and reduce household energy bills in the long term. 🏠 Greener homes mean more comfortable living and significant savings. What’s your take on this bold step toward a sustainable future? #Sustainability #GreenHomes #CarbonEmissions

🌍🏠 Towards a Greener Future: UK Homes Inspected for Energy Loss 🏠🌍 To help achieve net-zero emissions, millions of UK homes have been inspected for energy loss. This nationwide initiative aims to identify and address inefficiencies, making our homes more energy-efficient and reducing our carbon footprint. By improving insulation, upgrading windows, and optimizing heating systems, we can all play a part in creating a more sustainable future. Together, we can achieve net-zero emissions and protect our planet for future generations. #NetZero #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableLiving #GreenHomes #ClimateAction #UKInitiative

#Cities play an integral role in achieving #ClimateNeutrality targets. On a global level, cities account for 65% of energy consumption and more than 70% of CO2 emissions. In the EU, cities take up just 4% of land area but they will house up to 85% of its residents by 2050.    👇   https://lnkd.in/dDs6NjQZ

Increasing the energy efficiency in UK buildings will ultimately decrease the greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere. - - Not only that, but energy efficient homes will: 🌱Reduce energy bills 🌱Create jobs 🌱Help stabilize electricity prices - - Together, we can increase energy efficiency and generate sustainable change for our properties to reduce our impact on the climate. - - #energyefficiency #energyefficient #ukhouseholds #carbonemissions #reducedbills #heatingbills #utilitybills #housinguk #chameleondigitization #chameleon

🏢 Buildings are central to an effective, resilient, and just net zero transition for cities. 💨 They are responsible for 37% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions globally, the third highest sector after electricity and heat, and transport. This report offers initial findings on the general challenges and mechanisms behind the transition towards a net zero carbon buildings sector.

That's exactly why, though I may put the % between brackets, moving towards green buildings accredited guidelines, frameworks and rating systems, as well as certifying green buildings and projects, is considered a big step towards net zero transition for cities. #GreenBuildings #LEED #BREEAM #MOSTADAM #SUSTAINABLECITIES #GREENcities #GreenBuildings #ClimateChange #NetZero
