Eco-building using less energy than kettle
Forward thinking charity Disability Essex is leading the way in the reduction of carbon with the construction of a pioneering new eco-building using funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Utilising sustainable methods of design and construction, the building will form the charity’s professionally accredited training centre and operational headquarters and is scheduled to take three years to complete.
The idea for the new eco-building came as a result of the charity identifying the urgent need for new facilities to meet the increasing demands for specialist disability services. Choosing to design and construct the building completely with sustainability in mind the charity is looking to minimise its impact on the environment as well as creating a bespoke and flexible building with minimal running costs.
