The Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) are leading the drive for better more energy efficient construction.

The Innovare structure, with only minor alterations to it's standard format, can help to reduce CO² emissions by 40% and reduce the energy consumption from the 62 KWh/m² required by regulations to an outstanding level of only 22KWh/m²/year for a detached house. This is acheived with assistance from a developed supply chain network that can supply heating systems, air exchange systems (that can be maximised in their efficiency due to air tightness levels of almost 1m³/m²/hour against a requirement of 10m³/m²/hour) and solar heating panels.

All these benefits are demonstrated in a real construction situation at the Osborne House on the BRE Innovation Park, Garston, Watford, which was awarded Eco-points Excellent, exceeding the standard by 18 points.

Innovare Systems provide solutions whilst delivering long term
benefits and sustainability:

Reduced carbon emissions

minimal heating assists in the reduction of Carbon emissions

Reduced heat loss

the pre - insulated system far exceeds 2006 building regulations, assisting with energy conservation View technical information here
