High levels of insulation have been used throughout to minimise our energy consumption. There is 14cm of insulation within the walls and 15cm in the ceiling, which stops heat escaping, and 10cm in the floor to keep our feet warm.
The windows are made from toughened glass, double-glazed and filled with argon, a gas that has good insulating qualities. Some panes of glass are specially coated to reflect heat generated by the sun back into the rooms, even in winter.
