Hampshire based Solardome Industries has won a top environmental award from The Green Organisation at its Green Apple Awards. The Southampton firm was crowned Green Champion 2014 in the Built Environment Construction Category for an eco-home project involving its new SOLARDOME PRO system. Solardome beat off competition from more than 500 other companies to be presented with one of two champion awards at a glittering ceremony at London\u2019s futuristic venue, known as The Crystal.<\/p>\n

Judges were drawn from the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and the Chartered Institution for Wastes Management, as well as other independent bodies.<\/p>\n

The panel heard how the PRO system was developed for an eco-home in Norway where a 15 meter glass and aluminium dome was projected over a sustainably built COB house made from wood and straw.<\/p>\n

The design not only protected the property from wild arctic winds and severe snowfalls, but also drastically reduced energy consumption and building maintenance whilst regulating the climate to create a Southern European-style garden.<\/p>\n

In addition, judges liked how the PRO system was highly durable, with a lifespan of 100 years, and could be completely recycled at the end of its long life.<\/p>\n

As a result of this success Solardome Industries has been invited to have its winning awards submission published in The Green Book – the leading international work of reference on environmental best practice.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it is now likely to represent the UK in the European Business Awards for the Environment.<\/p>\n

Managing Director Pippa Bailey said: \u201cIndividuals, businesses and other organisations like schools are striving to reduce bills and cut their carbon footprints by investing in more environmentally sustainable architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us at Solardome Industries are absolutely delighted that The Green Organisation has recognised us for innovation in a build project that is both collaborative and sustainable\u201d She added.<\/p>\n

The Green Organisation is an independent, non-political, non-activist, not-for-profit environment group dedicated to recognising and promoting environmental best practice.<\/p>\n

The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and has become established for recognising environmental endeavour among companies, councils, communities and countries.<\/p>\n
