[box_dark]Eco Friendly Homes Merged As Centre Of Recent Study[/box_dark]
Two Houses ahs come up as a focus of study to ascertain if their green features can actually make differences. “Sanctuary Green Technology” is now working as a group with “Oxford Brookes University” after winning Government grant of £50,000. According to a recent report, researchers will determine the performance of energy-efficient features of two houses at re-constructed Bryan House located in “Chapel Street” for six months. In addition to this, residents can also give their feedback after using eco-friendly features. If this technology will sound lucrative, then researchers can consider modifying the way other properties are constructed in UK.
New properties will be designed as three or four-bedroom house as per level-4 code that belongs to sustainable homes. These homes will be integrated with triple glazing, air-source heat pumps, solar panels and proper insulation. According to the chief of “Community Investment and Sustainability for Housing Association Sanctuary Group”, Sophie Atkinson, this group is taking its environmental responsibility seriously and thus, dedicate itself to improve the condition of housing stock that can help you minimize carbon emissions. Moreover, this project brings in an opportunity to identify most effectual energy saving technologies that can be exploited for new developments. In addition to this, eco-friendly homes can help you deliver improvements for homes all over the country.
