Newland Homes has unveiled the first of 27 new homes in Cheltenham that are designed to have zero carbon emissions.
The homes, called ‘Pear Trees,’ are being built in response to the urgent need to address climate change.
Each of these five-bedroom detached homes features solar-powered air source heat pump. As a result, these homes are self-sufficient in terms of energy, producing as much energy as they require to function. This leads to lower energy costs for homeowners and reduces the environmental impact of everyday living.
These homes emit no net carbon emissions during their use, which is a significant improvement compared to the average UK home, which emits 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year (according to the HBF Watt a Save report in February 2023).
As part of the development, nine affordable zero carbon properties have been constructed in collaboration with Cheltenham Borough Homes.
