Click2Build Eco-Options……Self-building an environmentally friendly home
A truly sustainable home should incorporate a range of environmental features resulting in a home which is cost-effective to run, both now and in the future.
At Click2Build we have been able to harness the skills and knowledge of sustainable building from within the Kingspan group – the builders of the UK’s first net zero carbon home - the lighthouse, with an amazing running cost of just £31.00 a year.
We are able to offer a broad range of energy, heating and water saving options together with advice on renewable energy alternatives best suited to your budget and desired running costs.
The construction of all Click2Build houses is already extremely energy efficient, with wall insulation values around 30% better than current
building regulations. However a series of Eco-options are available to enhance the sustainability performance and rating of your new home, saving considerably on heating costs whilst you enjoy your new home and enhance re-sale values for the future.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE
| Enhanced insulation package – reduce your heating bills even further | |
| Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery – uses the heat generated in the house from cooking, showering, radiated heat to assist primary heat source | |
| Solar thermal hot water – Free hot water from the sun, store it, use it | |
| Rainwater harvesting – Collect rainwater from your gutters for your washing machine, garden, washing your car | |
| Grey water recycling – use waste water from showering, sink waste etc. to flush your toilets – save precious, fresh, clean water and save on water rates | |

At the appropriate time, a Click2Build technician would be available to explain available options in detail and provide a personalised Eco-pack option for you to consider.
