Green Homes

The longest roads start with a single step

When it comes to protecting Phuket’s delicate natural environment we are under no illusions. Overbuilding and a lack of adequate planning, particularly in coastal areas, have led to a severe reduction of the natural habitat and a led drain on the island’s natural resources. With this in mind we forego ideology, cliché and rhetoric and focus instead on clear attainable goals.

We can design and install home systems that will provide more efficient usage of energy, water and materials. Specifically we can advise and install solar power energy panels and hybrid energy systems; energy efficient lighting (compact fluorescent bulbs) and AC design and control. Sometimes we have been able to derive better energy cost efficiency by simple planting shade trees near windows or installing reflective strips on glass. We can also advise on swimming pool timer circuits as frequently swimming pools are set to run for far longer than they actually need. We can install and range of thermal roof insulation. We can design and install rainwater collection and storage systems. We have even been asked to install composting/mulching systems in some environmentally aware homes on the island.

In an effort to reduce energy usage and promote green healthy living we advise customers regularly service and clean their AC systems. A poorly serviced system can use up to twice as much energy as it struggles to maintain ambient temperatures as well as help to spread airborne microorganisms such as Legionella Pneumophila and Thermophilic Actinomycetes.

In an effort to reduce raw material wastage it is our company policy to re-use many of the fixtures, fittings and materials we collect during the course of our many home and business renovations on the island. Wherever possible we will donate such items to low income groups within the community
