See the detailed, written version on our Self Build blog: http://www.acarchitects.biz/guide-to-building-a-low-energy-home-1/
As a self-builder, you have complete control over choosing a plot, designing the architectural style of your home and its layout to suit the needs of your family. When designing your Self-Build you also have control over how much you pay for the day-to-day running of the house. Whether you want a home that is environmentally friendly or want to pay as low as possible on your energy bills, it is advisable to explore the possibilities of renewable technology and what you may get back for your investment.
This is the first of three articles in our “Beginner's Guide to Building an Energy Efficient Home” series. The series takes you through the most important phases of developing an energy-efficient home. The first part introduces the idea of an energy efficient home, in particular the concept of a zero-carbon home. The second part explains the principles of building a passive house. In the third and final part we describe the Fabric First approach and outline the key stages – which will help you build a well-insulated home, without spending money on expensive 'eco-bling' that you may not need!
