Linford Group has lifted the top Innovation award at the Constructing Excellence National Awards for its ‘Renewable House’, which is located at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) Innovation Park in Watford.
The Renewable House was created to demonstrate that mainstream affordable homes can be constructed from renewable materials – meeting both housing demands and environmental targets. It showcases the zero carbon, thermal insulation, sound insulation and “breathable” properties of hemp and lime construction.
