Designing homes for the 21st Century
09.05.13
Our most recent publication for NHBC Foundation; Designing homes for the 21st Century, was published this month.
Available to download from the NHBC Foundation website, the guide looks at how to improve processes and decisions to achieve cost-effective, robust and functional low energy design.
Without getting drawn into the detail of specific technological solutions or regulations, the guide proposes a model for planning new homes that splits into four stages: evaluation, best practice, integration and optimisation.
