Conclusions Rapid change in Construction Skills adapting to MMC & Eco-build. Progressive Multi-skilled teams with training ethos urgently required. New Construction Skills Accreditation System. DC’s main restraint to Eco-build/Zero Carbon for foreseeable future. Some Zero Carbon houses will be the slums of the future. The debate will continue over embedded energy versus performance; lightweight/heavy-weight construction; multi-foil insulation; hardwood/softwood; Large construction companies forced into the arena through regulation. New Build Refurbishment Improvements in performance of existing housing stock will be very slow under present government policies. Improvements only adopted by wealthy or the very committed, maybe HA’s. Severe compromises in or adjacent to listed buildings, conservation areas, towns etc. Eco is a very nice place to be!
