Sustainability through design
Planning and design are key factors in determining how eco friendly a home can be. That is why at Elsmore we design our homes to work in harmony with their surroundings.
Good design ensures that key living spaces receive the right amount of daylight and that rooms can benefit from solar gain or shading where it’s desired. These considerations at design stage lessen the need for superfluous levels of heating, cooling and artificial lighting.
