Sustainability for new build/development
To support the government’s aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, 50% of new build homes from 2023/2024 will be carbon-neutral. The balance of new build homes from 2023/2024 will be EPC A and all new homes will be ‘off gas’ by 2025, in line with the future homes standard.
What we’ve done so far
We’re excited to be embarking on a new project to provide a more sustainable heating network for Regent House in Darlington.
This project marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing comfortable and energy-efficient housing solutions for our residents.
We are delighted to be part of a consortium led by the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub that has successfully attracted funding from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 2.1 to deliver a £80 million retrofit project across the North East and Yorkshire.
We have kickstarted the year by successfully installing our first heat pump.
With more than 15,000 houses across the North East, we are hoping that the installation will prompt a rise in the uptake of heat pumps and other renewable forms of energy in other households.
A number of our customers will soon benefit from improved energy efficiency, following the award of a grant from the Government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF).
A total of 60 homes will have energy-saving external wall insulation fitted, ensuring they will be suitable for the installation of clean heating systems in the future.
Useful information
Tackling climate change and reducing global warming is crucial for us all which is why sustainability, energy efficiency and becoming net zero are key priorities for Beyond Housing.
