Scottish firm creates affordable zero carbon home

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / March 3

Scottish building company, the Stewart Milne Group have developed a prototype affordable zero carbon green home. The house will go on show at an event hosted by Building Research and Consultancy (BRE) in Watford in June. The group believe their design can meet the government's latest targets for new-build houses without costing more than an ordinary new home. Water-heating solar panels, compost bins, wind turbines and water efficiency are among the features of the three-storey timber-built family house created by PRP Architects for the Aberdeen-based Stewart Milne Group. The building also features extensive terraces built into the design at upper levels and has far more insulation than is normally used by commercial housebuilders.
