Double Glazing On The Web

Green building is no longer solely the concern of hippies and eccentrics. Modern design that focuses on functionality as well as increasing efficiency and reducing the impact on the environment is becoming more and more popular.

In an area of outstanding natural beauty such as the South Coast, is it fitting that construction firms, local authorities and private individuals are all taking environmental breakthroughs in building seriously and integrating them into new builds.

Eleven eco-friendly homes have recently been constructed at Poundbury and a similar green scheme is planned of Weymouth.  These new homes will include wood pellet boilers and stoves, heat recovery ventilation systems and rainwater harvesting, with a combined heat and power system capable of providing electricity.

However, Green technologies are not always so cutting edge; energy efficient glazing has been with us for years and can reduce condensation by 80%, cut wasted home energy by up to 20%  and ease the carbon footprint.
