Energy-Efficient Design

Homes that need less energy and feel better to live in.

Every new home we design meets the 7-star energy rating required under the building regulations as standard, with orientation, windows, insulation and shading all taken into account. Energy-efficient design is about going further than that minimum, so your home costs less to run for years to come.

We can design in solar panels, with battery storage so you use more of the power you generate, and heat-pump hot water, which heats water using far less electricity than a standard electric system. Double glazing keeps warmth in during winter and heat out in summer, and cuts outside noise. We can also design your home to be all-electric instead of gas, which removes gas bills and supply charges and works well alongside solar. We'll talk through which options suit your home and budget.
