Energy-efficient home
The goal to create a sustainable and thermally efficient home sat at the heart of this contemporary self-build project in West Suffolk. Keen to build their new home to Passivhaus standards, the owners investigated the options for structural systems before settling on Frame Technologies’ TechVantage T system.
“This is a super-insulated, breathable twin-frame panel system that allows for reduced thermal bridging,” says Simon Orrells, managing director at Frame Technologies. “In between the timber frame, a 300mm-deep mineral wool insulation provides excellent thermal properties and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.” This means the property requires minimal heating during winter, vastly reducing monthly costs.
