Sustainability at Design Build London is not a sales pitch. It is a measurable set of decisions, made on every project, that lower your running costs and reduce the embodied carbon of your home.
Planet-conscious materials
Where we can, we specify timber from FSC-certified sources, recycled insulation, low-carbon bricks and lime-based mortars. Material decisions are made in design, not retrofitted on site.
Performance and efficiency
Air-tightness, continuous insulation, high-performance glazing, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and air source heat pumps are all standard options on every project. We model the result so you know the difference before you commit.
Health and wellbeing
Better air quality, more natural light, lower indoor humidity and warmer surfaces. The result is a home that simply feels better to live in.
The tangible benefits
- Lower energy bills.
- A higher EPC rating, which can lift the resale value.
- Reduced exposure to future regulation and carbon charges.
- A more comfortable, healthier home for the people who live in it.
