Housing Minister, Iain Wright has launched a guide to tackling environmental emissions currently generated by households. Greening the UK's 27 million existing households, which produce more than a quarter of all UK carbon emissions, is essential if the Government is to meet its target of reducing carbon emissions by 60% by 2050. Yet, until now, no definitive guidance on how to do this has been produced.

The publication, Fit For the Future – The Green Homes Retrofit Manual, published by the Corporation and written by ESD, has been extensively peer reviewed and puts together essential information for any retrofit work to households being conducted in the UK. It has been also designed for social landlords from housing associations and local authorities who are responsible for five million homes throughout the country representing over onefifth of all households.
