The homes are designed to be a great place to live. It is built to Parker Morris Standards (spacious), with good views from every home, but also built for privacy and security.
Green features:
- The walls and roof are super-insulated using mixture of recycled paper (Warmcel 500 -EVT Technology) and mineral wool (Rockwool) insulation.
- Windows are argon-gas filled double glazing.
- Materials used are as environment friendly as possible. All wood is from certified sustainable sources and there is a high proportion of timber in the construction. Where possible, recycled aggregate and re-used stone have been used.
- The external spaces have a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) which captures excess rainwater to prevent flooding elsewhere by not adding to the existing drains.
The energy in our Green homes are supplied by 3 sources:
- Heat from residents (thanks to the insulation)
- Electric heating and lighting from the national grid (Green Energy as main supplier)
- Solar energy
- solar thermal panels on roof top for boilers
- Photovoltaic installation on Block A & B to supply power to communal areas as well as the 3 elektrobay for electric car charging
We hope you like them!
