Sustainability

ECD Architects has been a pioneer in Sustainable Design for over 40 years. Our objective is to design high quality sustainable buildings that have a positive impact on their community and their environment. Sustainability is integrated into our designs from concept through to completion, and we make sure this is reviewed at every RIBA work stage.

As part of our response to the Climate Emergency we have signed up to Architect’s Declare, the AJ RetroFirst Campaign and the RIBA 2030 Challenge. WWe have created a 5 year plan setting out how we will change the way we work to meet these commitments.

Our team of qualified Passivhaus designers in London and Glasgow have experience designing low energy retrofits and new buildings. Our fabric first approach allows such a reduction in heat demand that it is possible to achieve net zero carbon buildings, while also improving indoor health for occupants.

For all of our clients, we provide an initial, free-of-charge, Passivhaus analysis at feasibility stage to enable them to make an informed choice.
