…we must "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

Michael Dyson Associates Ltd is committed to this ethos; we promote sustainability within our own organisation through policy and training.

We have made a commitment to sustainable design, materials and building practices by employing a RIBA registered Architect as our
Head of Sustainability.

• Passive solar design
• High thermal mass construction
• Modern methods of construction
• High insulation levels
• Renewable energy (Ground Source Heat Pumps, Wind Turbines, etc.)
• Rainwater harvesting
• Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS)
• Code for Sustainable Homes Assessors
• UK Green Building Council members and enablers
