Town & Country Housing Group (TCHG) in Kent decided to construct a low carbon prototype home to act as a test bed for building to level 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Essential to this is a ‘fabric first’ approach; the building is constructed to be extremely airtight and thermally efficient to reduce heat loss. Using Thin Jointed aircrete significantly contributed to this way of building.
