The construction industry has been told it must do much more to combat the threat of global warming in a lecture hosted by the Construction Industry Council, the Happold Trust and the Corporation of London.
Tessa Tennant, a member of the Government's Advisory Committee for Business and the Environment, said buildings were the biggest source of CO2 emissions in the UK.
She urged the industry to develop new technologies, such as photovoltaics, to reduce emissions.
