At the end of July, Milica Kitson, Emma Thomas and Ed Evans, CEWales visited Great House Farm near St Fagans to see a private housing development that is achieving a high standard in energy efficient, sustainable homes.
LivEco, who specialise in building sustainable eco houses, are erecting eight new properties and renovating the existing farm house at the Great House Farm development, which is one of the last remaining protected areas of open countryside on the edge of Cardiff. It will be one of the first of a new generation of homes, created specifically for people who want to take advantage of new technologies and who want to live with the minimum possible carbon footprint.
