Our Lake House Zero project in Cumbria has achieved Design Stage Certification of the UK's Code for Sustainable Homes. It has achieved the highest level possible and is officially certified as Zero Carbon. The design stage commenced in 2011, five years before new homes are required to achieve this level. Construction began in the Spring of 2012 and is due to be completed next year. At 17,000, Lake House Zero is the largest certified Zero Carbon house in the UK and probably the world.
