Passive House
The D/RES team was responsible for the innovative award winning, Silken Park scheme, Ireland’s largest passive house scheme, developed in 2017, which has identified us as leaders in sustainability within the construction industry.
Climate change target
All of our new homes are in accordance with the RIAI climate change targets, and we ensure reduced levels of embodied carbon in each of the houses we build. We are also on a mission to create net zero carbon homes in the future, to ensure that we are playing our part to reduce carbon emissions, but to also disrupt and challenge the industry to be more sustainable.
