Which suppliers of garden buildings aim for zero carbon?
At present Energy Space is the only provider. Some of the better quality garden offices on the market aim for the thermal performance required by the 2002 UK Building Regulations. Our buildings aim to exceed this standard as explained below. Energy Space aims at the exemplary thermal standards seen in Germany and Sweden. Building energy performance can be explained using the following measurement: • Kilowatt hours – per metre squared – per annum (KWh/m²/a) The average UK home (80 square metres semi-detached) uses 278 kilowatt hours per mtr2 per annum (278kwh/m²/a) for heating, lighting and appliances. Built to 2002 Building Regulations the same size of home uses around 200kwh/m²/a (the standard most other garden offices aim for). Our LES range aims at 84kwh/m²/a while our ZES aims at 38kwh/m²/a. This means that we are improving on the best by over double and that we also offer the ultimate. The zero.
