Building better, naturally

Prince's Foundation Natural House

A comprehensive range of high performance and sustainable building products from NBT will be showcased by The Prince’s Foundation’s ‘Natural House’ at the BRE Innovation Park.

The Natural House is an alternative response to environmental efficiency in sustainable homebuilding from The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment. The Prince’s Foundation expects The Natural House to deliver significant energy savings right from manufacture to daily use, to offer good indoor air quality, to be simple and quick to construct and to appeal to the increasingly eco-aware homebuyer.

The building envelope will be constructed with products supplied by NBT, including the ThermoPlan fired clay, thin-joint wall block system, NBT Pavatex roof insulation system, and natural renders and plasters.

In addition to supplying the building materials, nbt consult has provided the energy and environmental strategy including specification and modelling of the thermal performance, heating and ventilation systems, and hot and cold water systems.
