Since the completion of the works, the farmhouse and its
associated buildings, including the converted cattle shed and
east barn, now produce just 3.7 tonnes of CO₂ per year. This
represents a significant improvement, performing far better
than the average UK home, which produces around 6 tonnes.
The restoration project demonstrates how historic buildings
can be thoughtfully upgraded to meet today’s sustainability
demands without sacrificing the qualities that make them
architecturally and culturally important.
Ecological Building Systems has grown significantly over the
years, supplying innovative, natural and high-quality building
materials, supporting construction professionals and architects
in delivering projects that meet sustainability goals.
