How do we create a ZED?

We offer a service above and beyond a conventional architectural consultancy - This website will give you an overview, and in some places a more in depth description, of this holistic and thorough approach. We know our brand of sustainable development as Zero (fossil) Energy Developments or ZED's. This comprehensive approach celebrates the reduction in demand for carbon intensive resources with a fresh design approach relevant to this new century - only possible with a mature understanding of both low carbon building physics and the need to futureproof major investments to meet the annual raising of environmental performance standards.

The specification of a ZED begins with an understanding of the ZEDstandards. These will change according to location and density. There are now many imitators of this concept - so it is worth checking what these performance standards really mean. On balance we are pleased that others are trying to replicate this concept - and will offer a certification service at both design stage and project completion for developments meeting the ZEDstandards
