Andrea is a judge for the AJ Architecture awards 2023, helping to make sure that the shortlist has sustainability and a low carbon future at it’s core.

Etude have pledged to #endgasnow. We are no longer working on projects that involve the installation of new fossil fuel heating systems.

We collaborated with others to produce the Net Zero Carbon Toolkit: a practical, easy to follow guide to help plan a net zero housing project.

We developed the Retrofit Action Plan with collaborators for the 33 London boroughs. They are now using it with London Councils and the Mayor of London to help shape accelerating domestic retrofit in London.

Services

We specialise in low energy building design, building simulation, construction quality and net zero carbon strategy.
