Incorrect I am sorry . 80% of the energy used in a house is in the running and it just gets worse the longer you keep a leaky old house uninsulated house with poor windows.

The highest standard house in Sydney requires no heating.

Probably it will be the same with cars ,just like fridges and hot water units.

I know that the most environmentally friendly thing to do when you need to buy a house for whatever reason is to buy an old one. No matter how efficient your new one will be, building it will still use a ton of resources that will have far more of an environmental impact (materials, manufacturing, fuels etc etc) then if you buy an old one….the same applies to
