Green Construction & Our Eco Homes

Phoenix Trinity Design & Build are dedicated to supporting the environment and inspiring others to join us in saving the planet. Building and construction can create huge amounts of waste and is a major source of global CO2 emissions. We consider this to be completely unacceptable.

Phoenix Trinity recently appointed the Carbon Advisory Service, the most well respected and influential environmental consultancy service in the UK, to assist us in further increasing the energy-efficiency of our houses.

At Phoenix Trinity we believe in environmental responsibility, and in taking practical real-world measures to reduce the impact of everything we do. All our properties have eco-features that ensure low annual CO2 Emissions.

Examples include:

• Ambient light and heat-harvesting via glazing, Solar Panel and Air Transfer Systems.

• Bio-Mass log burners to heat the main living room and galleried space areas.

• Insulation and heat retention that significantly exceeds new UK standards.

• LED and low energy lighting features.

• European manufactured supplies and Scandinavian FSC timber to reduce transport impacts.

• Welcome pack for new homeowners with advice on energy use, and local green recycling and waste reduction services.

Every Phoenix Trinity home is Carbon Neutral through to completion of construction. We go further and guarantee to offset the first three years of expected domestic emissions for every property we build. This makes our company the first official Carbon Reductive™ development company in the UK, meaning the net emissions of our build are below zero.

We have partnered with a local offset scheme that utilises Biochar technology. The brainchild of Green & Black’s Craig Sams, this carbon reduction scheme offsets our CO2 emissions within a 1-3 year time period, plus some extra on behalf of the planet.

“As a company we are constantly searching for environmental solutions that are commercially viable. What became painfully apparent in our researches is the confusion and challenges that individuals and companies are faced with when they desire to make good eco-choices.” Simon Hinton
