Energy efficiency

Building site of new homes being built

As East Anglia's Millennium Community Yours South Lynn has sought to achieve levels of energy efficiency and sustainability in the construction and operation of new homes which set new standards both regionally and nationally.

We have commissioned Richard Hodkinson Consultancy, a specialist sustainability and innovation consultancy, to work with the Building Research Establishment and the Energy Saving Trust to model the projected performance of our properties. It will assess energy use, projected annual running cost and environmental performance.

"Carbon dioxide levels are set to rise to double those at the time of the industrial revolution - it is very important to understand that we can manage the risks to our population." Professor Sir David King, government chief scientist

The results will enable us to compare energy efficiency at Yours South Lynn with average new UK homes of a similar size.

The information will be published on this web page as soon as it is available.
