Our Testing & Hands-On Results
Our recent Headington project achieved a remarkable 42% reduction in energy consumption compared to similar-sized conventional homes in the area.
In January 2023, we completed an eco-friendly home in East Oxford using our advanced thermal envelope system. During the winter months, the home maintained a consistent 21°C indoor temperature while using 68% less heating energy than neighboring properties. The homeowners reported their winter energy bills were just £87 per month despite the property’s 180m² size.
Our proprietary insulation technique, which combines sheep’s wool and recycled denim with strategic air barriers, outperformed standard insulation by 35% in our controlled tests. This isn’t theoretical data—it’s real-world performance we’ve measured in Oxford homes.
