At ecobuilders.green, we offer an eco-friendly approach to building, in addition to traditional builds. Our collaboration with a passivhaus representative allows us to provide the latest energy- saving materials and environmental technologies for your sustainable construction project. With rising fuel prices and the costliness of eco houses, choosing an eco approach to the build is the way forward.
Passive houses
The Passivhaus Institute in Germany developed the Passivhaus in the 1990s. This building standard prioritises creating a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient building. By using a thermally efficient envelope, the standard can reduce space heating demands by up to 80%, resulting in a comfortable building throughout the year. The standard is flexible and can be achieved through various designs, construction methods, and technologies.
Living Roofs
Green roofs, also called vegetated or sedum roofs, are a popular roofing choice that can transform a plain roof into a thriving garden. They offer numerous benefits for both the environment and homeowners, such as improved air quality, increased biodiversity, better insulation, enhanced aesthetics, and water retention. Sedum green roofs are made up of low-growing succulent plants that are well-suited to green roofs because they can store water and tolerate drought conditions.
Electric Vehicle Charging Points
By having a charging point at your residence, you can benefit from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours and have a dedicated plug-in point for your vehicle. This allows you to charge your car overnight and have it ready to go at all times, without the hassle of waiting for a public station to become available.
Solar panels
Solar photovoltaic electricity has numerous benefits such as decreasing your carbon footprint, lowering your yearly electricity expenses, mitigating the effects of rising energy costs, and generating a tax-free income for two decades. Additionally, Solar PV panels and systems are simple to install, have a guaranteed lifespan, and require minimal upkeep.
Heat Pumps
One of the most cost-effective and eco-friendly ways to fulfill your home's heating and hot water requirements is by installing heat pump technology. Heat pumps utilize environmental energy to produce heating and hot water for your home by extracting energy from the air, ground, or a nearby water source. This energy is then transformed by the heat pump to generate heating and hot water for your home.
