Speller Metcalfe is on site in Cubbington for Warwick District Council, working on 17 brand-new energy efficient new homes. All dwellings incorporate a number of renewable measures to achieve EPC A rating. Measures include:
- Air source heat pumps
- Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
- Waste water heat recovery
- Photovoltaic arrays
- Air tightness below 3.5m³/m².hr
- Energy efficient thermal fabric and high performance thermal bridge details
The scheme was designed with the framework of a Whole Live Carbon Assessment to ensure design solutions adopted minimised CO2 emissions in the manufacture, installation and use of the dwellings over a 100 year reference period. This resulted in a development well within the RIBA 2030 embodied carbon design targets.
Seven of the properties will be affordable homes as part of the Council’s ambitious programme of delivering a number of local, affordable council house buildings.The scheme is part of a wider strategy to enable local people to continue living within the district, whilst also making use of brownfield land. The project is due to complete towards the end of 2024.
