ABSTRACT

All of this means that the Energy Efficiency Rating on the EPC goes off the scale at 107, with an Environmental Impact (CO2) rating of 108. In the Code for Sustainable Homes assessment it reaches Level 5. The SAP Assessment also predicts that there will be only a medium likelihood of a high internal temperature, or overheating, in July and August, which can easily be catered for by opening the windows. Future houses could be semidetached or terraced, and have one, two or three bedrooms, as demand dictates and housing associations or local authorities wish. Glen is now at work on building a small terrace of such houses, a prototype community.
