Residential and Mixed-Use Projects

Larkfleet Homes
LowC are working with Larkfleet Homes on a number of residential and mixed-use developments, providing design strategies that incorporate a high renewable energy content - far surpassing current requirements and standards.

LowC's 'road map' for integrating a renewable energy infrastructure into the design strategy has enabled Larkfleet to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) level 4, with no cost increase compared to conventional construction techniques.

This has helped to dispel some of the myths that low carbon building is inherently more expensive than traditional building, and proven that achieving CSH level 4 can be commercially viable.

Further benefits have been achieved through increasing Larkfleet's position in the highly competitive property market by introducing affordable low carbon and renewable energy solutions that differentiate the developments
