I have just found an interesting website:

There is now a wide governmental and scientific consensus on the need to shift to a low-carbon economy. The UK has set itself the target of a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Nearly one third of UK carbon emissions are from housing. We can and should build new houses to rigorous energy efficiency standards. Yet at current rates of demolition and new build, it will take 1,000 years to completely renew the UK housing stock – so most of the homes standing today will still be in use in 2050. |
Before you start insulating a house like that:
and replace the roof and windows....I think it is quicker and cheaper to just knock it down.
In general the website sounds like they don't even have an idea yet how to solve the problem without replacing all houses....I also dont think it would take 1000 years - only with the current bureaucracy and planning restrictions.....
