Sustainable homes

At Evolve Housing, sustainability means creating functional, cost-effective dwellings that people can make their own homes.

We pay particular attention to the comfort and household running costs for residents – providing innovative, low-cost solutions to keeping our apartments cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

We only use hard-wearing construction materials, fittings and fixtures, considering their whole life-cost, not just the purchase price. Where possible we incorporate the following sustainability measures into our new buildings:

• NatHERS rating to 7 Stars;
• rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate energy on site for common area and tenant usage;
• infrastructure within the building to create an embedded electricity network, reducing energy costs for tenants;
• charge points for electric cars.
