JCAN question

JCAN media spokesman, Nick Palmer, was approached to submit a question to the Grand Designs Live panel (which included Kevin McCloud). This took place at ExCeL in London from 1-9th May.

My question was:
To make a meaningful, timely, impact on greenhouse gas emissions requires acting now. Does the panel feel that all new buildings, starting tomorrow, should be designed to the highest BREEAM standards, particularly those relating to energy conservation (or, at least, to be easily retrofittable later) with a significant emphasis on a very long design life? Super-insulated buildings, which will last for generations, must surely be the way forward to a sustainable civilisation?"

As you can hear, they changed it somewhat but the essence came through.
