    It depends on how you calculate the carbon footprint and if you are comparing like for like.  But considering that houses don’t have interior lighting in lift lobbies and car parks, or garbage compactors, or garage gates, or lifts, or giant electric fans and don’t have to pump water up above the third storey, plus there is all the extra energy used in construction, I find it hard to see how houses could be less sustainable.

    That said, a three-bed flat in a low-rise block may well be more sustainable that a three-bed house. I would certainly be interested in seeing some of the articles that you have read that contradict my point of view.
