With politicians fighting over the green agenda, long-term insecurity of fuel supply & prices, and daily reminders of climate change, it seems ever more apparent that we need to find new solutions to the way we live and the homes we occupy.
We can show you solutions that have worked at little or no extra cost compared to a "standard" house. This will help you make informed choices. Experiencing an established zero carbon development will help guide you through the decisions you have to make. Learn form the successes and failures we have had. You will also be helped to address some of the latest challenges facing designers and developers as regulation drives new building towards the zero-carbon target by 2016.
The Government has signalled very strongly its intention of moving the agenda forward with the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) and the announcement that by 2016 all new homes will have to achieve a zero carbon standard. This is a challenge for designers and developers! and
