That’s why we look for opportunities to not only meet the 6-Star energy rating for renovations but for ways to exceed the requirements.
From the design through to the construction of your renovation, there are plenty of strategies you can employ to lighten your environmental footprint.
These can range from short-term aspects (such as minimisation of construction waste, to long-term improvements in the energy efficiency of your home.
Every home is different, so the specific ways you can reduce the environmental impact of your renovation and ongoing energy use will be different in each case.
Materials selection is key so, wherever possible, we recommend the use of sustainable products and timbers. We always use double-glazed windows and encourage clients to increase the amount of insulation.
Some of the other areas we can help you achieve a green renovation include consideration of water use and re-use, space heating/cooling and renewable power.
