Architects challenge assumptions of carbon neutrality as new concepts are unveiled in PRP's Carbon Challenge design competition.

A competition created to explore the issues arising from the introduction of the Code for Sustainable Homes has revealed new concepts and ideas that challenge assumptions of carbon neutrality. The competition, Carbon Challenge 2007 – the second in a series of annual design competitions held at PRP to respond to industry issues – shows new approaches by PRP’s architects that include embodied energy and solar gain, currently not part of the calculation of carbon neutrality. Many of the schemes also acknowledge the importance of generating renewable energy for a wide area rather than relying on micro-generation, an implication of Code level 6* and much current planning policy.
