Describes the construction of the first house by a major housebuilder in compliance with level six of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Built by Barratt, the design is in keeping with the traditional appearance of Barratt new-builds. Photovoltaic cells have been employed but biomass has been eschewed, due to problems of small-scale supply. Describes the specifications in use, including triple glazing and super insulation. Warns that there will need to be a major on-site culture change in order to implement these changes on a large scale.
