An energy efficient back of the door draught stopper. A small product with a big advantage. Launched at Ecobuild just 14 months ago. Same principle products being developed.

Did think it was big calls from the government for all new builds to be zero carbon by 2016. Devastating blow for the building industry. Today (during the recession) we had time to re educate thousands in the building sector with a view to a cleaner, leaner Britain, it would have created so many jobs in the green building industry not only for the existing but the youngsters of Britain. I guess in the big picture there is no money left for training after bail outs. Its not the general public who are greedy, they're just keen to get back to work. They need a direction and that might have just been it. Unfortunately the British government seems to have dumped its green building regulations plan.
