Future First
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.
Cutting edge technology
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.
Home Wellbeing
In depth research studies suggest that the modern technologies now more commonly seen utilised within sustainable buildings have increasing wellbeing benefits for occupants – leading to better cognitive function and productivity. Passivhaus style living has been cited for both its physiological and psychological benefits, whether in a residential or commercial setting with lower levels of light pollution and increased air quality leading to better circulation, respiration and deeper sleep, in turn lowering stress levels and supporting the bodies natural repair process. The feel good green effect, is so much more than just thinking you are doing your bit for the planet, your physical health will reap the rewards too!
