Have you ever thought about building an energy efficient home? Now more than ever new home builders need to be exploring these options in the construction of our new homes!

For to long builders have looked at ways to minimise upfront costs to win the job but this has been at the detriment of the green energy performance of your house, and the environment.

Builders and Homeowners need to be conscious of the long-term effects that we can have on our environment with some simple changes in our buildings. This can mean some short-term pain in the build cost; however, it can have large cost saving benefits over the life span of the house.

There are some simple ways of achieving an energy efficient home without spending a fortune, such as building design and orientation, weather sealing, increased glazing quality, increased insulation, Solar power, electrical fittings and appliances. These are just a starting point!

These small changes will help you to save money on your power bills, live more comfortably in your home, increase the value of your home, and help to reduce our impact on the environment.



At H.L.W Projects we are committed to making these changes and we encourage anyone looking to build or renovate to consider the Green Energy options they could incorporate into their design and join us in the quest to create more energy efficient homes.
