Active House Design

I am a keen supporter of Active House design and the philosophy. I design healthy homes for people and planet. ‘Ecohomes’ and ‘Sustainable Homes’ have been around for years. The Passivhaus standard has become the gold standard to achieving energy efficiency and is focused on high quality construction.

 

Active House design is about adopting a holistic approach to the design of your home. The  aim is to offer a healthy and comfortable indoor climate for you to live in  without a negative impact on the planet. Designs are measured  in terms of energy, fresh water consumption and the use of sustainable materials.
