Eco / Sustainable Extension

An extension designed to minimise environmental impact and energy consumption through high levels of insulation, airtightness, passive solar design, renewable energy, and low-carbon materials. An eco extension typically exceeds minimum building regulations requirements significantly. Design strategies include south-facing glazing, thermal mass, green roofs, rainwater harvesting, and solar PV.
