The challenge

Refurbish a single-family home to health, comfort and energy-efficiency standards far above those of the existing housing stock. Demonstrate that sustainability is also viable at domestic scale.

Our approach

End-to-end project management and Verde GBCe certification. Coordinated work with architecture and engineering to optimise the envelope, systems and materials.

The results

Verde GBCe certification and A-rated energy performance. Non-renewable primary energy use of 18.79 kWh/m²/year and emissions of 3.22 kg CO₂/m²/year.
