The challenge for self-builders or any new-build is keeping costs of the build under control, but don’t let short-term costs deter you from making long-term savings from lower energy and water costs.
This short Open University film from the 1990s shows how the principles of high thermal mass and passive solar gain work in HHP homes to eliminate the need for artificial heating. It also underlines the priority we give to helping people who are looking at their own new build to develop and deliver low budget, low tech and buildable designs.
We can help you apply those principles to your project – whether it’s a new-build or renovation of an existing home.
