Although I haven’t as yet called ecotect architects, I did take the time to drive up to Ellen brook and a look at the sustainable projects ‘on show’.
It was very interesting because generally the homes looked very much like the standard project homes on offer.
Why on earth is this good?
Because it means that housing that inherently reduces it energy use and the energy use of the final occupant can be implemented within standard development guidelines, and building envelopes.
So the addition of energy conscious design envelopes (essentially what my project is hoping to create) should add another layer of increased efficiency on to housing that fills it.
