Improve your home with architectural advice
When some homeowners decide to go green and install energy efficient home improvements, they sometimes consult architects for expert advice.
Jestico + Whiles are an architectural team and they recommend that homeowners always remember that the key to being green is not to build unnecessarily. Consulting with an architect means you can unlock potential extra space and allow light to flood into your home.
Solar panels can be used to make up to 80 per cent of the energy which produces your home's hot water as long as they are positioned correctly, while other simple changes also make a huge difference.
Energy saving light bulbs, double-glazing with low-emittance coating, draught sealing and extra insulation will be effective at saving energy.
It is Architecture Week from 15th to 27th June this year and architects from the Royal Institute of British Architects will be giving consultations across the UK to homeowners in return for a £40 payment to homeless charity Shelter.
