Sustainable home
In 2024, homes in the UK accounted for 14% of the country’s carbon emissions. In renovating your home, there are lots of ways to make it a more sustainable home, reducing its impact on the environment.
Your sustainable home will be warm and comfortable year round and cost you less. By insulating your home properly, you will reduce the need for heating, and lower energy bills. Using an Air Source Heat Pump to power your heating or hot water limits the fossil fuel used in your home. Installing solar panels generates clean electricity for your home.
But a sustainable home means more than the carbon emissions created in its everyday use. We consider the embodied carbon on the materials that go into your home.
Beyond the carbon emissions of your home, as sustainable home will be fitted out with the environment in mind. What internal finishes are specified? Can your existing furniture be repurposed? The use of natural materials reduces the pollutants – VOCs – released in the manufacture of building materials and can improve air quality in your home.
We are experienced in working with you, our clients to design responsible and beautiful sustainable homes.
