Blauberg A rated decentralised MVHR
We all know that most new buildings will require mechanical heat recovery and ventilation and the regulations will at some point make this a requirement in all new buildings due to the airtightness of the build. Ecoenvelope are very pleased to be able to supply the German built decentralised Blauberg system, most units are A rated, some are A+. A decentralised system means no ducting is required, with all the cost and problems that can arise with ducted systems. The units can

Zero waste, even at the factory.
Well almost, waste adds cost to our products and as part of the new circular economy we are committed to a zero waste policy. A good example of this is our off-cuts. All of our projects will require cutting and shaping elements that make up the complete thermal envelope. The off-cuts are stripped of the Magnesium Oxide(MgO) or OSB board, this is either recycled, MgO can be used as a soil amender in agriculture, the OSB is used to heat the factory space. The EPS insulation is

The true cost of your construction
I think we're past the stage of thinking that building with blocks of materials, placing one on top of the other with a wet mortar to hold it in place is a good idea. Construction time, weather, on-site wastage, thermal performance, larger internal volumes, energy saving all point to off-site construction as the future for housing and commercial build. High-performance SIP systems are now replacing timber frame construction and here's why. The table below is an extract from a
