sustainable living
More than 40% of the UK typical carbon footprint is created through the routines of travel and consumption of food so the real Carbon Challenge is to offer people new lifestyles. More than just creating Zero carbon homes, hanham hall will be a unique opportunity for individuals to make the choices that will bring us all closer to reducing the impact we have on our planet.
The development of the hall and the grounds will be one of the first large-scale zero carbon communities in England and will be the first development by a major housebuilder to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6. It will meet demanding targets to reduce energy and water use and will reduce other impacts on the environment.
Sustainability isn’t just about tackling different issues in isolation - such as greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and irresponsible use of finite resources or loss of bio-diversity. It’s about taking a holistic approach to placemaking; ensuring that ecological, social and economic factors all combine to create a positive foundation that underpins a healthy, vibrant and happy community.
Homes at hanham hall will set new standards in the use of light, space, energy, water, materials and design quality. The homes are designed so that they will perform to the highest standards in every way. The air quality will be better, the heating system will be zero carbon, the windows will be the highest performance and the taps will save water.
