LESS IS MORE : Energy security after oil is a report authored by David Olivier and Andy Simmonds, it was published at the end of an unprecedented time in UK energy policy history. It began with the formal acceptance of the need for a climate change policy by the Conservative Government in 1997 and culminated with the Climate Change Act and the 4th Carbon Budget. Less Is More is a significant analysis contributing to the debate.
Post-Fossil Fuel Building Construction and Materials is an AECB report authored by David Olivier and successfully follows his first AECB report on Energy security - "Less is More".
Eight years after the first report, David Olivier looks at the UK policy of reaching ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 2050. This document briefly outlines moving towards a future in which buildings would be constructed, and materials manufactured, with ‘net zero’ GHG emissions.
