Why use sustainable materials for the refurbishment?
Our homes and buildings are contributing to climate change, because they use a lot of energy. In fact, around half of our energy use in the UK is at home. By reducing our use of energy from fossil fuels, we help to reduce our contribution to climate change. At Langholm Close not only have we made the homes much more energy efficient so they use less energy, but we are harnessing the sun’s energy to make electricity. Both of these things help to reduce the building’s contribution to climate change.
