With all British homes being required to be emissions free in less than a decade designers have risen to the challenge and proposed architectural prototypes to meet this new demand. On top of standard passive strategies such as natural ventilation and shading techniques this house design incorporates water efficiency tactics, such as water-efficient taps, toilets, a biomass boiler and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
This design may break down the ultimate energy barrier by accessing what may be the most cheap, easy and abundant source of fuel the world has ever seen.
This desert-friendly house design uses a perforated sliding skin that controls how much sunlight is let into the house, keeping it cool without air conditioning.
