Designed to use fewer resources

The planned systems focus on responsible energy and water use and waste reduction. Final installations depend on permits and the technical design.

Solar power

Solar power

Clean electricity generation at a selected location through an Energy Community.

Storage & smart management

Storage & smart management

A hybrid inverter, battery and energy controls are planned to improve self-consumption and reduce peak demand.

Efficient heating & cooling

Efficient heating & cooling

Heat pumps, efficient distribution systems and zoned controls aim to provide comfort with lower consumption.

Smart energy controls

Smart energy controls

LED lighting, sensors and automation help avoid unnecessary operation.

Water saving & reuse

Water saving & reuse

Low-flow taps, dual-flush toilets, leak detection and consumption monitoring. Rainwater collection, permitting for borehole abstraction, desalination and efficient irrigation, where technically feasible, aim to limit drinking-water use.

Environmentally considered cleaning

Environmentally considered cleaning

Recognised eco-labelled products, appropriate dosing and refillable packaging are planned to reduce waste.

Composting & recycling

Composting & recycling

Sorted waste, home composting to use the compost for vegetables grown in our garden, and suitable temporary storage for recyclables.

Measurable performance

Measurable performance

Monitoring key consumption figures and documenting the final systems and performance of each house.

The final equipment and amenities will be confirmed before opening.
