EARTHPOSITIVE

EarthPositive™ is an intelligent and holistic design philosophy based on real-world experience and building theory to achieve homes that go beyond zero carbon to effectively reduce the Earth's CO 2 emissions. However, it's not just about achieving an 'A' rating, or being self-sufficient on renewables - it's about building comfortable, thermally efficent, desirable homes with extremely low energy demand that are designed to be lived in... Housing in the UK is responsible for 18% of the UK's CO 2 emissions, which is not going to reduce if we keep building homes to current standards. Over 57% of UK housing stock was built before 1965, with only 12% being built post-1990. Houses built to current regulations, although better than before, still contribute to the UK's CO 2 emissions, which we think is crazy. That's why we developed the EarthPositive™ concept. Quite simply: If we build EarthPositive eco-homes then we can actually reduce the CO 2 emissions of the UK's housing stock and offset..
