Sustainable Carbon Zero Homes
Our Mission & Objectives
Considering carbon zero homes is looking at important factors that determine it, such as:
- Energy efficient homes that account for insulation, energy consumption versus energy auto-production, etc. These are some of the considerations that have to be taken into account;
- Carbon compliance and footprint of its production are also factors that determine how green is my home, and these have to be taken into consideration as well;
- If we are dealing with existing buildings that are going through renovation and development, then certain criteria has to be implemented to ensure that energy efficiency and usage of energy is taken to a level of optimisation and brings the balance of these factors without forgetting the economics of the solutions;
- When looking at new builds then we will ensure that the construction and final utilisation of energy balance is taken to another level of optimisation for the home, by producing more energy than its consumption, and therefore installing solar panels, battery, fuel cell and intelligent monitoring combined with an energy efficiency that enables the system to export excessive energy giving the owner revenues to offset the cost of the building throughout the life of the building;
- Having smart homes or carbon zero homes also means that it is contributing for a smart city helping to lower the carbon emissions of the community.
