Why Eco for our homes?

It was one of the fathers of Modern Design Le Corbusier, that once said “a house is a machine for living in”

Perhaps now more than ever, this quote is appropriate to our age. From a technical point of view our homes are under ever closer scrutiny, to use less energy and out put less waste- to become more efficient. That’s not surprising when we consider that the average home produces 6 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions every year – a figure that could simply be reduced by one third (that’s 2 tonnes less!!) if we applied some simple principles to it.

Not only will this reduce the impact that our homes are having on the environment but also save us a money into the bargain.
