We are pleased to announce that the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has joined the Energy Bill Revolution alliance, calling for warm homes and lower bills. With more than 40,000 members worldwide, the RIBA has led the profession since its foundation in 1834, and continues to lead as architects face the challenges of the 21st century.
The Energy Bill Revolution is calling on the Government to use the money it gets from carbon taxes to make our homes super-energy efficient. This is the only permanent way to drive down household energy bills and end fuel poverty. It would be enough to bring 9 out of 10 homes out of fuel poverty, generate up to 200,000 jobs and save four times more carbon emissions than the Government’s new energy efficiency policies.
Head of External Affairs Anna Scott-Marshall said: ‘The RIBA wholeheartedly supports the aims of the Energy Bill Revolution. We strongly believe that energy efficiency improvements to UK homes are crucial to lowering our carbon emissions, lifting more families out of fuel poverty, improving the design of our homes and growing our green economy.’
