Designs on Life: The Future of Eco-Architects

The future of sustainable housing and eco-design is perhaps something everyday folks consider vaguely

. Solar panels, biomass (whatever that is) and wind turbines may be a workable reality now, but for many the realistic idea of renewable fuel (never mind a specifically eco-designed home) is a passing thought as they flick on the light (which is an energy-saving bulb so well done there) and go about their daily home chores.

Building Design

With so much more focus on sustainable housing and renewable energy, houses are likely to be far more open to renewable energy adaptations, built using renewable materials and insulation, and decorated with green-living in mind.

Energy

Home-use solar panels have, historically, been ineffectual and expensive, particularly in terms of home adaptation. However current common eco-buildings like garden offices, studios and even modular school classrooms already employ cheap, successful solar panels which can produce the main bulk of the structure's electrical power needs.

Water

Biomass is a plant-based fuel, and when properly cultured, produces a zero carbon footprint. Unlike fossil fuels, the COv(2) extracted from the atmosphere during growth is in direct proportion to that released by the use of biomass in energy e.g. the COv(2) released is immediately taken up by replanting.

Biomass is particularly touted as the future of water heaters in the home. It's worth noting that estimates put annual bill savings at around 450 per home.

Gardens

Going green in the garden has never been easier, and in the future will play a more central role. Growing fruit and vegetables is already popular, and will hold that platform in the future garden.

Peripheral eco-buildings like garden offices and modular building systems are increasing in popularity in the common British garden. Designed by accomplished eco-architects, these carefully planned buildings are perhaps the best practical assessment of things to come in future UK house design.
