Because of the superior U-Value rating, The Mantle Building System offers
a great advantage in that it requires a much smaller
scale heating system which significantly reduces heating
bills and, of course, reduces the overall energy
consumption within the home in line with demands for
limiting carbon emissions. The cooling function of
air-conditioning is supplied as well with the same
energy saving properties, and the full
heating/ventilation/air-conditioning system cost
approximately the same as an old-fashioned central
heating system.

It should be noted that there is no need to burn fossil fuels to heat a
Mantle home as heating or cooling the airtight Mantle
Building System consumes very little energy and provided
high grade sustainable double glazing is also
incorporated in the building, then a carbon neutral
building can easily be achieved by adding other’s
proprietary power generation units, such as photovoltaics, or wind-driven energy producers in
conjunction with heat pumps or heat exchangers.
