Sustainability and Energy Policy

Alongside our traditional skills, the company looks to use materials that are manufactured with the least amount of CO2 emissions from renewable sources that comply with the Fabric Energy Efficiency Standard (FEES).  

 

To meet carbon zero requirements, it is necessary to over perform in other areas using the “Allowable Solutions” calculator so that CO2 is reduced to zero.  This is achieved by Improving insulation values to levels far beyond current legislation laid down by Building Control and using heating methods from renewable energy sources.  The net result is clean, efficient living providing a better future for all.
