Wood is the Earth's most renewable raw material and using it is vital in the fight against climate change.
Wood is the Earth's most renewable raw material and using it is vital in the fight against climate change. The more wood we use, the more carbon that is stored. The more trees that are grown, the more oxygen that is released in to the atmosphere, and the better off our entire world would be.
Not only does wood take less energy to produce, it also releases less CO2 than other building materials (such as steel and concrete) during manufacture. Wood based homes can save around 4 tons of carbon dioxide, equal to the emissions of driving 22,000 Km.
Lockwood homes help promote a cleaner environment and protect the Earth for everyone, including your grandchildren. Who would have thought that building your dream home could minimise your carbon footprint? Well it absolutely can.
Lockwood's eco-friendly features work towards minimising carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions.
"Capital energy" is the energy it takes to produce the materials used in the construction of houses. Lockwood homes have an efficient energy footprint when compared to conventional homes. They use locally grown plantation wood - a renewable resource that also helps the environment by consuming carbon dioxide and releasing new oxygen into the atmosphere.
