We have an excellent track record of building high quality new homes that are comfortable, highly energy and water efficient, and which aim to improve our customer’s quality of life. In choosing a new home from Countryside Properties you are reducing your environmental footprint and saving money which at this time of ever increasing utility costs is important.
Today the world's attention is firmly placed on combating climate change. Around 25% of the UK's carbon emissions are generated in homes and in Britain on average, £1 in every £3 spent on energy in older homes is wasted immediately. However, a new home from Countryside Properties is on average 6.5 times more energy efficient than one built just 30 years ago.
Sustainability
Our developments contribute to a higher quality of life by protecting the environment, promoting social cohesion and strengthening the local economy. We achieve this through building attractive residential areas with their own architectural character and identity, green open spaces, and convenient transport links to essential local amenities such as schools and shops. In addition, our new homes are well designed, comfortable, safe and adaptable, and wherever possible they are constructed from materials that have a reduced impact on the environment.
In recognition of this we have received more than 60 awards for sustainability since 2001.
The Environment and EcoHomes
Our new homes are assessed against either the Building Research Establishment's EcoHomes rating scheme or the Government’s Code for Sustainable Homes. Please visit EcoHomes for more information.
No matter how environmentally friendly your new home, it is our customers’ lifestyles that will really make a difference. To find out how easy it is to help the environment and cut costs around the home please see our top tips.
