Sipframe have developed a ‘concept’ house, aimed at demonstrating the company’s ability to produce affordable housing which is both attractive and practical. Ecopad will be built to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes level 6*, incorporating renewable energy technologies which will enhance the energy efficiency of the Sipframe ‘passive’ walls and roofs. Whilst this is primarily a concept home, developers will be able to build this design on their own sites, subject to planning permission. Sipframe can supply complete packages which can include high performance windows and doors, wind/PV power generation systems, heat pump and wood pellet heating systems, solar water heating, rainwater recovery and other products required to attain level 6* of the Code for Sustainable Homes. |
