Every home we build targets an EPC A rating — the highest energy efficiency band a property can achieve in the UK. Here's why that commitment matters, especially in affordable housing.
Lower bills where they matter most
Energy costs hit low-income households hardest. An EPC A rated home can cost significantly less to heat and power than the UK average (most housing stock sits around band D). For social housing residents, that difference is felt every single month.
Better homes, healthier communities
High-efficiency homes are better insulated, better ventilated and less prone to damp and mould. That means:
- More comfortable living temperatures year-round
- Healthier indoor air quality
- Homes that hold their condition over time
Futureproofing social housing stock
Regulation is only moving one way. Building to the highest standard today means our housing association partners won't face expensive retrofit programmes tomorrow. It protects the long-term value of every scheme we hand over.
How we get there
From design to completion, our projects prioritise:
- Fabric-first design — insulation and airtightness before anything else
- Energy-efficient systems — modern heating, lighting and controls
- Sustainable materials — reducing embodied carbon, not just operational carbon
