Lighting the way home to a sustainable future

A HOUSE that produces its own electricity and costs just €50 a year to heat is being unveiled in Britain this weekend by Irish company Kingspan Century.

Billed as “the most sustainable house in the world”, the zero carbon home called Lighthouse already meets stringent British government targets for sustainable building, set for the year 2016.

The Lighthouse prototype is the first house to match the highest level (6) of the building code for sustainable homes, revealed by the British government just two months ago.
