 "One of the most energy-efficient private dwellings in Britain"

Mike Coe and Lizzie Stoodley's Eco-Build in Worcestershire.

• No space heating of any kind. No boiler, no wood stove, no heat pumps.
• Completely 'water-neutral' by use of harvested rainwater and
• composting toilets, so no connection to mains water or drainage.
• Intelligent use of renewable energy rather than 'eco-bling' makes
• the house carbon negative.
• Energy Requirement exceeds the exacting German Passivhaus standard at just 5kWh/mē/yr.
• Obtains its servicing from the land on which it stands, giving it a tiny environmental footprint.
• But designed to be acceptable to 'non-eco enthusiasts', to be a beautiful home inside and out,
• and an inspiring place to live.
