ROADMAP TO THE FUTURE

HOW VOLUMETRIC™ IS TAKING STEPS TO BE MORE SUSTAINABLE

FABRIC-FIRST APPROACH

Advertisement

VOLUMETRIC™ designs all products and processes to optimise material use. Offsite fabrication allows for highly specified, precision engineering, eliminating onsite waste and reducing space needed to store and transport products. Our modular homes and pods use the minimum material while offering maximum performance and low carbon output. With a 60-year expected lifespan, VOLUMETRIC™ modular houses are designed with recycling and reuse in mind to ensure material usage can extend beyond the home life cycle and through to deconstruction and disassembly.

Efficient Manufacturing

Working from advanced factory facilities in Shrewsbury, VOLUMETRIC™ adopts lean manufacturing processes. Constantly evaluating systems and using DfMA principles, a right first time every time approach mitigates risk.

VOLUMETRIC™ works with trusted suppliers whose sustainability values and goals match our own, including local suppliers where possible. Assembling fully fitted units on site reduces transport and vehicle movement.

ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGY

The VOLUMETRIC™ modular housing range is designed with a futureproof energy strategy.

SOLOHAUS™, DUOHAUS™, and FAMILYHAUS™ all offer exceptional airtightness of <3ACH@ 50Pa and emissions of circa 200KG CO2/year.

Renewable energy technology via Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) and Mechanical

Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR) contribute to low in use energy consumption.

VOLUMETRIC™ energy centres use intelligent technology, storing energy generated in battery cells and sending surplus back into the grid, offsetting carbon to achieve net zero living with low living costs.
