ZEDfactory, which has been involved in the design and realisation of energy efficient buildings since 1998, says demand is on the rise.
Bill Dunster, founder of the firm, claims he and his colleagues have more developments in the pipeline and that their business is growing by a third every year.
“We have very, very approximately about 2,000 people who have, unsolicited, asked to buy one of our zero carbon homes and only a tiny fraction of that demand is actually catered for each year.”
Meanwhile, the Royal Institute of British Architects has urged the Olympic Delivery Authority to “lead the way” in the government’s strategy for zero carbon housing.
Currently the target for the Olympic Village is for buildings to be 25 per cent more energy efficient than those being built today.
However, all new builds must meet this target by 2010 at the latest and must be carbon neutral by 2016 meaning the targets set for the Olympics are distinctly unimpressive.
The Olympic Delivery Authority is thus being called upon to beat the targets set for them and lead the way for a greener Britain.
