sustainable design Ingleton Wood has an established track record in providing bespoke sustainability advice to clients since 2000. Over this time the Practice has kept abreast of the evolution of approaches to sustainable design championed across the UK and Europe and has brought this knowledge to our range of residential sector client types. Our approach to sustainability in residential development is very much client led.Whilst we clearly ensure our schemes meet all national and locally specific regulations, we are able to offer solid sensible advice to those clients wishing to go beyond just compliance to address the climate challenge and low cost in-use agendas. The design team will generally use a ‘fabric first’ approach to design, ensuring orientation allows properties to capture free solar energy and that all elements of the external building envelope are well insulated to mitigate heat loss. Once these passive strategies have been applied we can then provide design advice on the use of integrated green technologies including MVHR, air sourced and ground sourced heat pumps in addition to solar and photovoltaic panels. Our team contains designers experienced in delivering low carbon and zero carbon housing, including established approaches such as Passivhaus for which we have a number of accredited designers.
