Modern Eco Home with Sustainable Windows

What Is an Eco Home?

An eco home is a property designed and built to minimise environmental impact and reduce energy consumption. These homes prioritise sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems, and climate-responsive design to achieve a lower carbon footprint.

Key features often include:

  • High insulation values
  • Renewable energy systems (solar, air-source heat pumps)
  • Triple-glazed windows and insulated doors
  • Smart home automation for energy control
  • Low-embodied carbon building materials
  • Sustainable water use and drainage solutions

Benefits of Eco Homes

  • Lower Utility Costs: Reduced reliance on fossil fuels and optimised energy use
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Sustainable design for long-term impact
  • Healthier Living: Non-toxic materials, filtered air systems, and better thermal comfort
  • Futureproof Investment: Enhanced resale value and resilience to regulatory change
  • Biodiversity & Site Sensitivity: Often designed in harmony with surrounding landscapes
Building Standards for Eco Homes

Eco homes can meet several recognised UK and international certifications:

Certification Purpose
Passivhaus (Passive House) Extreme energy efficiency
EnerPHit Passive House for retrofits
BREEAM Holistic environmental performance rating
SAP / EPC UK energy performance & building regulation
Code for Sustainable Homes (legacy) Measures overall sustainability

Our products support and exceed many of these benchmarks.
