Our Focus

The larger site at Agar poses many different problems in comparison to low rise dwellings, for example the mechanical services design becomes critical and thermal bridging can be much more significant.

As well as certifying this project we have provided training for the design teams, given initial advice on buildability and thermal performance, and significant site presence.

The latest phase uses communal ambient loop heat pumps.
