Our Philosophy - Zero Carbon Homes
As we come towards the end of the first decade of the 21st century mankind is becoming increasingly aware of the fragility of the planet’s ecosystem and the urgent need to take steps to reduce the causes of global warming. This occurs in parallel to the growing cost of energy and demand on global resources that reinforces the argument for investing in sustainable, green technology.
Our practice is conscious of the role we can play in setting an example of energy efficient houses and sustainable buildings which aim to address these global issues by designing for the future.
In this regard we are designing homes which meet the Government’s aim for Zero Carbon Homes today, even though the Government’s target is to achieve this by 2016. We aim to demonstrate that this target can be achieved economically without significant additional build costs by becoming energy efficient and applying the appropriate use of green technology.
There are a number of ways to achieve energy efficient buildings that are outlined in the examples of buildings in this section. The most energy efficient building is one designed to Passive House Standards and is a net zero carbon house.
