Reimagining Homes and Streets of Today
A net zero future is on the horizon, but what does that really mean for homeowners?
Across the UK, we have some of the oldest and leakiest homes across the whole of Europe when it comes to heat loss. As a consequence, our homes are hard to heat in the winter and difficult to cool during the summer – ultimately impacting the cost of energy bills.
In fact, more than a fifth (24%) of the UK’s carbon emissions come from our homes, so it’s important that homeowners are considering the changes that need to be made to prepare for a net zero future. With this in mind, we’re revealing what our streets and homes might look like if they were reimagined with today’s environmental and societal needs in mind.
The reimagined homes of today:
From bee bricks and increased green spaces to help encourage biodiversity, through to renewable energy sources and improved glass and glazing to reduce energy bills, UK streets would look considerably different if they were built today.

Top five features we would see if our homes and streets we reimagined:
Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or heat pumps
Increased biodiversity with living walls, bee bricks and more green spaces
Low traffic neighbourhoods which have less cars on the roads
Natural shade from trees to protect homes from increased hot weather
Up to standard windows and doors to keep heat energy in during the winter, and hot air out during the summer

With winter just around the corner, and the cost of living crisis rumbling on, there’s no doubt that people will be looking at ways to try and help reduce energy bills and lower their carbon footprint.
With this in mind, we’re going to be launching a handy guide for homeowners to keep in mind when making plans to increase their property’s energy efficiency. In the meantime, check out our blogs below to give you some tips on how windows and doors impact energy efficiency.
