Breathing New Life into Homes - Lomond’s Search for an Award
The Green Business Fife (GBF) Awards aim to recognise and reward companies that have introduced new initiatives and projects for better sustainable business practice; and to promote greater awareness and environmental innovation throughout Fife. All the Awards are judged by independent experts in environment and business.
There are distinct Marketing and PR advantages to winning with companies able to highlight their environmental achievements. The winners will be automatically being short listed for the VIBES awards for Scotland-wide recognition.
This year homes built by Lomond, as part of the Fife Housing Association Alliance programme, incorporating the Dynamic Breathing Wall Technology was submitted in the category of Green Products and Services. This innovative development is the result of a partnership between Energyflo Construction Technologies, the producers of the insulation panels, and Lomond Homes’ sister company Lomond Timber Frame, who designed the frames for the houses.
This unique type of insulation is designed to save energy, cut carbon emissions, improve air quality and provide long-term cost savings for home owners. Although, Lomond were unsuccessful in gaining an award at the ceremony held at Balbirnie House Hotel on Wednesday 12th May we were encouraged by the feedback from GBF. Stuart Rennie, Managing Director of Lomond Timber Frame reflected upon the progress to date:
“We are encouraged by the comments from GBF regarding the enormous potential that the judges saw in the product and that we should reapply next year when more evidence on the performance has been gathered. We remain confident that the Dynamic Breathing Wall will demonstrate that houses fitted with this innovative product will show greatly reduced rates of heat loss in comparison with conventionally insulated homes. We will be back again next year.”
Stuart added:
“What a fantastic event the organisers put on, well done to everyone involved. It really was a most impressive evening from start to finish which eased the pain of losing.”
