Better performance, built in.
Sustainability is most effective when it is considered from the beginning.Our experience includes Passivhaus, low-energy homes, natural materials, renewable technologies and high-performance building systems.We focus on practical solutions that improve how a building performs without compromising how it feels to live in.
In the last decade, awareness and demand for green buildings have grown exponentially, with customers wanting to make a minimal impact on the planet whilst ensuring that their home is as efficient as possible. Technical innovation supports this increasing appetite for a sustainable construction offering, and we are fully accredited with a number of organisations that support these projects, such as the award-winning Passivhaus build model. These commercial innovations within the industry, coupled with increasing M & E technologies, mean that many options for sustainable projects are now much more accessible than before.
In addition to the external fabric of your building, there are a number of operational elements you can choose for your home, which will ensure that the building is as effective as it can be, from both an environmental and occupancy POV. Mechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR) pulls fresh filtered air into a building whilst retaining most of the energy that has already been used for heating, whilst Air Source Heat Pumps are fast becoming one of the most popular energy technologies, utilising energy from the air or ground outside your home and converting it into heat. Biomass & Solar energy solutions are also key in minimising your carbon footprint, contributing to the longer term sustainability of your building.
