A Step towards zero-heating in residential homes (2055 words)
The ‘zero heating’ family home is built using timber "I" beams that are simultaneously quick to install, and are less expensive than traditional construction.
The ‘zero heating’ house is an affordable, replicable model for housing which can deliver very large environmental improvements at costs consistent with, or lower than, the cheapest housing currently on offer by our builders of mass housing.
As the design for the ‘zero heating’ house currently stands, were the ostensible savings to be replicated for the 4.4 million new homes projected by the government to be needed in the United Kingdom by 2016, annual fuel bill savings would amount to some £921 million (un-discounted).
