Nah, I siad they had to be open and honest about screwing us over. The whole zero carbon house thing seems to be living up to the scepticism of eco bling and people not seeing the wood for the trees. I'm erring increasingly to the side of those wanting targets for low carbon homes, encouraging the incoporation of emissions and energy saving features such as intelligent passive solar design, high quality insulation, inbuilt ecconomic technologies (e.g. grey water harvesting for watering plant even if it isn't ecconomic to use it to flush the toilet. I'd like to see Richard prove that installing a basic water but is uneconomic ), use of building materials sources in the UK if not locally etc. NOT a fancy wee wind turbine stuck on what's essentially a Barrat home and significantly increasing the price tag. I think I have had this rant before
