Boklok want to challenge the construction industry and wider society by demonstrating that when it comes to the delivery of new homes, it is possible to combine sustainability and good quality with a price that many can afford.
Together with their employees, their owners, their partners and their customers, they want to support a more sustainable approach to both the construction of new homes and the way in which people live in them.
Boklok aims to incorporate many measures within their homes that will assist future homeowners to save energy and as a result, money too!
From including/making provisions for electric car charging points to using the highest efficiency-rated boilers available and installing water-saving taps, showers and toilets, they want to assist their purchasers in reducing their energy use, wherever possible.
However, there are a number of additional steps that buyers can take in a home to help reduce energy consumption (and fuel bills) even further.
“Building with wood has several benefits, not just for the environment and the climate. Wood is a strong and at the same time light and flexible material that is very well suited for industrial construction in factories. The low weight means that the emissions from the transports are lower than transports of prefabricated parts of heavier materials. The low weight of wood also means that we can use less concrete in our house foundations, which further reduces our climate impact.”
Jenny Adholm, Head of Sustainability at Boklok.
