BAUFRITZ - Der Ökohaus-Pionier seit 1896

 

Ecology

 
  Imagine a home with less than one sixth the energy consumption of the
average UK house; one that cuts waste, saves you money and protects the environment. Every Baufritz house comes with this energy efficiency as standard, providing you with immunity to fluctuating fossil fuel prices, whilst ensuring you do more than your bit for our planet.

Our houses come from nature and can be returned to it; perfectly in tune to the natural cycle and the need now and in the future for ever greater sustainability. The Baufritz ecological difference can be summarised as:
  • Perfect thermal insulation with natural materials for and in walls, ceilings and roof
  • Minimum energy consumption as a result of 37 cm thick energy-efficient timber walls
  • Maximum energy savings as a result of top quality windows with highest thermal performance
  • Carbon positive homes
  • Excellent climate and fresh air supply controlled by decentralised ventilation with heat recovery
  • All materials are recyclable, fully biodegradable and thus sustainable
  • Emphasis on renewable energy sources such as heat pumps, wood pellet heating and solar units

Safeguarding our world has always been at the heart of the Baufritz philosophy. Using only timber, installing the best thermally efficient windows and because our construction process is so energy efficient, has ensured our homes have earned the accolade “carbon positive” : they lock away more CO2 than is emitted during their manufacture, transportation and construction.

Our ecological vision is all-encompassing; it includes the choice of sustainable timber and all building materials, the component design, the manufacturing process, packaging and transportation, waste management and site operations. But it doesn’t end there, for the lifespan of your home, it will continue to run in an energy efficient manner and be truly environmentally friendly.
