Two innovative, near zero carbon houses
Two innovative, near zero carbon houses
PHPP designed to achieve passivhaus classic certification through applying the Beattie Passive build technology. In addition, carefully selected low energy, recycling and renewables ranging from Envirovent MVHR system, GRAF 2.7m3 rainwater harvesting, Thermoception all-in-one air source water heater for DHW, two Recoup WWHRS are incorporated to achieve a near zero carbon status.
For added comfort and wellbeing regardless of age, disability, or gender, Smart Home Technology for power and led lighting along with doc M compliant wide door access throughout ground floor, automated pocket door to wet room, push button to control thermostatic showers and bath filling, sensor-controlled basin taps, kitchen gardens for home grown organic produce, permeable driveway, paths and patios, and architecturally designed recessed lighting.
External fabric of the buildings such as Internorm triple glazed aluminum clad UPVC doors and windows, automatic solar controlled tripe glazed velux windows, cedral woodgrain effect cladding, colour through thin-coat K-Rend, fibre cement slate effect roof tiles, dry roof ridge and verges, anthracite wood grain effect upvc fascia and soffit have all been chosen for their quality appearance, long life, high performance and low maintenance.
