Go Green

A Study carried out on behalf of the basement information centre found that houses with basements are up to 10% more thermally efficient than that of the same size constructed entirely above ground.

In fact the insulating qualities of basements have been acknowledged for hundreds of years, the reason that wine is traditionally stored in wine cellars is because they provide a stable temerature throughout the year.

Because the inclusion of basements in developments can allow greater population densities to be achieved, the requirement to build on green field land is reduced.
