About this home:

A draughty, cold and mould-sprouting house has been transformed into a cosy home that will be net positive for emissions by 2025, including all embodied carbon from the build. It is the second building in the UK to meet the robust EnerPHit Plus standard alongside reducing energy use by an incredible 120%. Adopting a holistic view of sustainability, each aspect of the build was carefully considered in the calculations so that even the build team’s location and means of travel was considered when thinking about emissions, and options for materials were carefully weighed up, balancing thermal efficiency with use of natural products to give the best outcomes.
