Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

Zero-carbon eco home is the ultimate green ‘Des-Res’

Every so often an eco-structure redefines the rules, surpasses expectations, and sets the benchmark for a sustainable future. The worlds first ‘Active House’ has just been constructed on an estate in Lystrup, a suburb of Denmark’s second city, Aarhus; and the dream of a zero carbon lifestyle has just become reality for one local architect.

You know you’ve got yourself a credible eco home when the impressive specifications read: “Solar panels warm under floor heating. Fifty square metres of solar cells generate electricity, while computer-controlled windows automatically regulate internal temperature”, and would have estates agents biting and the bit to have such a user friendly property on their books.It was conceived as a more comfortable riposte to…

Bank of England claim “housing crash past its worst”

“Housing crash is now past its worst”, says Bank of England

David Miles, the Bank of England’s new resident expert on the mortgage and property market, may have announced the best news of 2009 so far. Positive news that will resonate around every home in the UK, and will surely instill confidence with estate agents across the land. If his comments are correct, the UK’s housing market has stablised and is set for recovery and mild growth. This sits in stark contrast to his report a year ago that claimed the economy was the worst it’s been for 20 years. Nationwide, the building society, supported the turnaround by announcing that housing prices in June rose for the third time in four months.

Bucks homeowners go green or face higher council tax

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

According to an article on thismoney.co.uk on 13th July 2009 by Daniel Martin of the Daily Mail homeowners “who do not have double glazing or insulation would be hammered under proposals drawn up by an environmental pressure group which will be considered by ministers.”

Whatever the outcome, it seems inevitable that homeowners in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire will soon be paying more one way or the other, by either a) investing in energy efficient energy saving windows for their property, thereby reducing their carbon emissions or b) paying higher tax bills until such time as they make their home more energy efficient. It is thought Climate Change Secretary of State Ed Milliband is likely to announce what penalties energy inefficient homeowners could face in…

Plus is the inside or outside pane gets broken, you are still have one pane left till…
