In a previous blog, we discussed how tough 2022 has been financially, and despite the government putting in measures to provide support to the typical household, with the continuation of the increase in cost of living, this simply is not enough for most.

Many families are having to take drastic measures to save money wherever they can and adjust the way they live their day-to-day lives. In this blog, we discuss how Arc Design Services can ensure your renovation or home build plans are as energy efficient as possible to enable you to tackle the energy crisis in the best position possible.

Insulated Concrete Framework (ICF)

We have spoken about insulating concrete framework in a few of our previous blogs. It is a form of construction that we regularly use here at Arc Design Services due to its endless benefits. ICF is a construction system that uses purpose-made isolating panels to hold fresh concrete that remains in place permanently even after the concrete sets to provide insulation to the whole building structure. If you are planning a new build or extension ICF is perfect due to its high energy-efficiency alongside its strength and sustainability. It can also add 3-5% additional value to your home compared to a wooden framed alternative.

Insulation

Another simple way to save energy in your renovation or home build is to ensure that you insulate your home well to cut down on undesirable heat loss and heat gain and subsequently, reduce the amount that you have to heat up or cool down your home with power. Here at Arc Design Services we can help support you to implement the best insulation for your home, from flooring to wall, loft and more!

Energy efficient lighting and devices

In a previous blog, we discussed how energy-efficient appliances and devices could create large savings in your existing energy bills. Similarly, at Arc Design Services we also aim to be conscious of energy consumption and sustainability and recommend considering LED lighting over other alternatives, for example, or installing home technology that helps to support and encourage you to energy-saving decisions.

At Arc Design Services, we specialise in architectural design, offering a fresh and exciting approach to every project. With this in mind, Arc Design Services could help you ensure that your renovation or home build help to save you as much energy as possible amid this global crisis.
