The BedZed housing development, the first of its kind in the world, promises a new way of life.
"With three storeys of triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling glass gulping light and heat into the south-facing homes, ventilation is a priority. The passive solar heating and thermal mass insulation is so efficient that the homes will use about 90 per cent less energy for heating than conventional buildings. The development was recently awarded a global award for energy-efficient architecture.But the architecture of the 82-home development may be its least radical aspect. For many residents it will mean a new way of life - forsaking their car, eating local organic food, perhaps giving up the daily commute to work. "
