The Zero Carbon House, now being built on the Shetland Island of Unst, is a low energy demonstration project that aims to show how renewables can create a unique living experience on a remote island in a severe climate.

Heating will be provided by an air-to-water heat pump serving an underfloor heating system. Power will be derived from two on-site wind turbines. MK Electric’s wiring devices and consumer units have been installed throughout.

The project will offer real time monitoring on a web site, including information on savings.
