Getting to work with bricklaying tools could have a knock-on effect for the UK's ability to employ microgeneration to produce electricity on-site at people's homes, suggests the Federation of Master Builders (FMB).
Rather than referring to the direct construction of microgeneration facilites, the industry organisation explains that there is also a need to put bricklaying tools to work on the building of modern housing capable of supporting the energy-producing technology.
Director of external affairs Brian Berry says: "New housing provides the test bed for cutting-edge microgeneration technologies which help address the energy security and carbon emission reduction agendas."
He argues that government actions should not neglect new homes as they represent a contributing factor to "the delivery of everything else".
The FMB previously suggested making use of small parcels of previously developed land less than two hectares in size in order to create new residential properties in London without having to touch green belts.
