Sustainability is one of the most pressing issues affecting the social housing sector. Britain’s homes are responsible for 27% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. This is why all new homes will have to meet tough new zero carbon standards by 2016. The Sustainable Housing Awards celebrates the projects and organisations at the vanguard of housing sustainability best practice. Involvement in these awards as a winner or a finalist brings widespread recognition, masses of media exposure and could lead to further work or commissions.
