Challenge
The priority for this family was creating a spacious, functional, and highly energy efficient home.
Optimising the build's geothermal heat pump and photovoltaic system to complement the sustainability of its timber frame structure and overall airtightness was important for allowing the family to live more sustainability and spend less on energy bills.
Other technology in the home needed to be 'fit and forget' for making life easier with three children.

Solution
Epitome Living helped this family create a 'future-proofed', energy efficient home that blends functionality with style.
The build's fully integrated LOXONE automation system helps the family live more sustainably whilst bringing ease and convenience to their busy lives.
The couple's first year energy bill for heating, hot water, and cooling was £132. With the increase in energy prices since then, this cost now averages £360/annum, remaining at less than £1 per day.
The family also reports time savings of twenty minutes a day thanks to automated shading, and appreciates that the children can play outside whenever they want without needing to remember a key - they simply learn the access code for the home and can come and go as they please.
"People who visit are always amazed at how easy everything is," the homeowner says. "We hardly have to adjust anything - lights, heating, hot water - it's all automated and just works."
