Higher standards for building codes were proposed years ago, but then dumped, as governments do.
Surely, if you accept we have a climate emergency then houses should be built to the highest environmental standard.
Properly built houses need little or no heating, have solar panels, heat pumps and grey water systems, but do not cost that much more to build.
The retail price of a house has only a little connection with the cost of construction.
