−	47% of UK carbon emissions are generated, or influenced, by the construction industry, 80% of which are from buildings in use. So if the performance of buildings does not improve, we are unlikely to achieve our emissions targets or the COP21 goal for keeping global warming below 2 degrees centigrade.	+	124 proposals were submitted, proposing everything from networking groups of buildings to balance energy use, to running buildings on algae. The range of ideas submitted is illustrated below.

−	Despite the prevalence of innovative products among the entries, most participants didn’t actually think we need a raft of new solutions, but instead felt we should make better use of the ones we already have. Many existing buildings ~~still~~ don’t even have double glazing ~~installed~~ or insulation.	+	Despite the prevalence of innovative products among the entries, most participants didn’t actually think we need a raft of new solutions, but instead felt we should make better use of the ones we already have.

−	Some of the most interesting ideas were about changing behaviour, with a general feeling that improvement will only come as a result of intervention, whether in the form of legislation, incentives ~~and~~ penalties, education or automatic controls.	+	Some of the most interesting ideas were about changing behaviour, with a general feeling that improvement will only come as a result of intervention, whether in the form of legislation, incentives, penalties, education or automatic controls.

	The winning idea came from Tom Hughes, Director at architectural practice 2hD. Tom, who describes himself as an all-rounder, with a strong interest in technology, culture and community, has a PhD in the practice and theory of designing, building, and buying houses made of steel.

−	\|width="50%"\|Tom proposed that build quality could be improved by prefabricating complex junctions, rather than prefabricating simple components as we do at the moment. These would be produced to length and delivered to site pre-insulated, air sealed and finished. On-site work would just involve filling in the areas between the junctions with timber, steel or concrete as required.	+	\|width="50%"\|Tom proposed that build quality could be improved by prefabricating complex junctions, rather than prefabricating simple components as we do at the moment.
