What makes a building genuinely sustainable and is reducing energy use enough?

Pei explores the relationship between energy efficiency, materials, adaptability and longevity, and asks whether our existing buildings may be just as important as the new ones we create.
We also discuss the challenges of upgrading Scotland’s traditional buildings, the environmental cost of green technologies and whether sustainable design risks becoming unaffordable.
