Green Design
We are keen to promote the cause of sustainability in our
work. This involves:
- specifying locally produced materials (eg. timber, Welsh
slate)
- insulating buildings as much as possible (and certainly
better than Building Regulations standard)
- giving consideration to energy-saving devices (low-energy
lights, condensing boilers, solar/photovoltaic power, triple glazing)
- if newbuild, giving consideration to orientation of the
proposed building
- avoiding unsuitable or harmful materials & components.
All buildings have an effect on our environment, some more
harmful than others. We try to persuade our clients to be responsible citizens in this
respect, and we endeavour to work with our clients as a team to do our part, little as it
may be, in conserving the earths resources and minimising our harmful effects on it.
