Wienerberger’s e4 brick house concept is to be trialled by South Staffordshire Housing Association (SSHA) on a number of two-bedroomed homes under construction in the coming months.
Wienerberger says its e4 concept was selected by SSHA for its environmental and sustainable credentials, as sustainability in construction is high on its list of priorities. Since the concept is founded on the use of high-efficiency building materials, the e4 brick house concept met SSHA’s criteria to ensure it sets the highest standard of ecological sustainability.
Neil Woodfield, development officer at SSHA, said: “The e4 brick house revolves around four central principles of economy, energy, environment and emotion. Those principles help us to achieve our goals of building affordable, energy efficient and sustainable homes, which allow for a higher quality of living.”
Richard Brown, category marketing manager at Wienerberger, added: “We are delighted that SSHA is trialling the e4 brick house. The four pillars of the e4 house will create a new benchmark for the future of sustainable homes and it is great to see confidence growing in the concept amongst the social housing sector.”
