Setting New Standards in Green Building with Senso Resin Flooring at a Carbon-Positive Passivhaus in London

In the heart of Balham, London, Senso has partnered in creating one of the area’s first carbon-positive Passivhaus homes. This visionary residence combines advanced eco-friendly technologies including a living roof, ground-source heat pump, solar power, and Grain by Senso to set a new benchmark in sustainable urban living.

Innovation in Every Element

Each feature of this Passivhaus works in harmony to create an energy-efficient, low-impact environment:

Living Roof: Contributes to insulation, supports biodiversity, and manages stormwater.

Ground-Source Heat Pump: Uses stable ground temperatures to provide efficient heating.

Solar Panels: Generate surplus energy, furthering London’s carbon neutrality objectives.

Senso’s Contribution: Grain Biopolymer Resin Flooring

Senso’s Grain Biopolymer Resin flooring is designed with renewable biopolymers, offering the durability and seamless beauty of resin flooring without the environmental compromise. Applied in smooth, uniform layers, it is resilient, eco-friendly, and certified with low embodied carbon, meeting the high standards of Passivhaus certification requirements. With certifications like EPD and Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C), our flooring aligns with sustainable design principles for the long term.

Key Benefits:
