Helping you create a more sustainable home
Researching, planning and designing a more sustainable home or renovation is a time consuming and often frustrating task. For over 30 years we’ve advised and assisted thousands of our customers to create and achieve a more sustainable lifestyle. Our experience over the years has consistently proven that a well-designed sustainable home, is a result of well informed decisions that have been made during the research and planning process.
The sustainable house consultants at Going Solar have practical experience in design of homes to minimise impact on the environment. Our range of skills include designing for passive solar gain, use of non toxic materials in the home, designing and sizing renewable energy systems, advising on appropriate low impact heating and cooling systems, and building with view to minimising dependency on resources. With years of experience, our consultants can provide sustainable solutions for any residential building.
A well designed sustainable home will:
- Save on running costs
- Be more comfortable and pleasant to live in
