Sustainability

Dorset Council declared a climate and ecological emergency in 2021 and has subsequently adopted its Natural Environment, Climate and Ecology Strategy (recently ‘refreshed’). The strategy is focused on three pillars: 


  1. Climate Change: Cutting greenhouse gas emissions
  2. Biodiversity Loss: Helping nature recover by protecting and enhancing our land, rivers and sea
  3. Environmental resilience: Adapting for the impacts of unavoidable environmental change


C G Fry & Son believe that building a home with a low energy demand is the best long-term way to deal with high CO2 emissions and fuel bills. The efficiency of the “building envelope” is key to this. 

Heating, hot water and lighting is 50% cheaper:

An average new build house owner will pay just over £800 a year, compared to £1,789 for those in older equivalent sized properties (yearly saving of £979).
