Achieving Carbon Neutral Homes

We are proud to have assisted the London Borough of Hounslow in developing 13 highly sustainable new homes at Frampton Road, contributing to their Social Housing Decarbonisation Scheme which is helping to lift hundreds of residents out of fuel poverty and deliver on the Council’s commitment to becoming net zero by 2030.

Split across two blocks, Dove Court & Seabird Court, this net zero carbon project provides high quality homes for social rent for people on a range of incomes, as well as shared ownership opportunities. The development consists of 8x 2 bed & 5x 3 bed light, modern & airy apartments, with one wheelchair accessible home.

Emitting at least 100.26% less carbon dioxide (CO2), this reduction is achieved, and the buildings’ general environmental performance improved through adoption of:

• Enhanced insulation standards, improved lighting and heating efficiencies
• Installation of photovoltaic solar panels – converting the sun’s energy into electricity
• Use of air source heat pumps – which extracts heat from the air to heat your home
• Highly efficient ventilation systems – minimising energy loss

“Hounslow is leading the way on tackling the climate emergency and this pioneering project aims to deliver warm, energy-efficient homes, reduce carbon emissions, tackle fuel poverty, and support green jobs.” – Councillor Katherine Dunne, Deputy Leader of Hounslow Council and Cabinet Member for Climate, Environment and Transport Strategy.
