Words of Wisdom
“So, we can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change and it has to start today!” - Greta Thunberg “God is in the details” Meis van der Rohe “There is a time for everything: a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to tear down, and a time to build, a time to be silent and a time to speak out...” Ecclesiastes 3 “Climate Change is the Greatest Threat to Human Health of the 21st Century” Lancet Commission, 2009Welcome

Ultra Low Energy Homes: • designed to meet your specific needs • providing a comfortable, future proof and energy efficient house • for a secure and low carbon lifestyle. Many people believe that Net Zero Carbon, passively designed homes are too expensive to build. But this does not have to be the case. I designed my own generous 4 bedroom family house over 10 years ago and it was not expensive. It cost the same as building any one-off house of a similar size that I've ever designed. I am continuing to design and build new homes at affordable rates as can be seen on the following pages… • I have been designing low energy houses for 25 years. • I designed my own award winning low carbon passive house 10 years ago and it won the Buildings and Energy Efficiency Award using actual energy use and running cost figures - it performs as well as it was designed to! • In 2022 we made a net profit of £240 on our energy costs… this year (2024) it will be significantly more profitable! • My mission is to provide the best solution to suit everyone. • If you want to contact me, please click onto the contact page on this website to pick up my details or just email colinu5@outlook.com. I look forward to hearing from you - save the planet… ...and live in your own climate safe home!
