The projects are expected to leverage in an additional £60 million of industry investment and £30 million extra funding from across government and other agencies. Business Secretary Vince Cable said: “The UK’s new and existing buildings must adjust to a low carbon economy. Investing in energy efficient construction projects is important to help industry and government achieve our aims of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2025. I therefore warmly welcome the Technology Strategy Board’s investment of £60 million in energy efficient technology alongside the private sector. “The construction industry contributes almost £90 billion to the UK economy and supports around 3 million jobs. We are well placed to take advantage of new and emerging energy efficient technologies, commercialise them and then export them across the world.” Director of Innovation Programmes at the Technology Strategy Board David Bott said: “The resulting new, innovative techniques for both building new, energy efficient homes and for refurbishing existing homes to similar standards have achieved often startling carbon footprint reductions and have the potential to help drive economic growth in this sector.” GIVE AND GET BACK: Q1 WINNER OF CASHBACK PROMOTION ANNOUNCED When you’re a giver, it’s always nice to get something in return every once in a while.
