Building a Greener Tomorrow
At Hurstwood Homes, sustainability is not an afterthought. It is built into every decision we make, from the materials we specify and the suppliers we choose to the technologies we install as standard in every home we build.
Every Hurstwood home is rated EPC B or above, placing our homeowners among the most energy-efficient households in the country. The result is a home that costs less to run, produces less carbon and is built to protect both your finances and the planet for generations to come.
Energy Efficient As Standard
Every Hurstwood home begins with a high-performance thermal envelope. Superior insulation, energy-efficient double glazing and airtight construction work together to maintain a stable internal temperature year-round, reducing the need for heating and cooling and cutting energy consumption significantly.
LED lighting, smart Heatmiser thermostats and high-performance appliances come as standard throughout, contributing to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home in every season.
Every home we build is rated EPC B or above. That is not a target. It is our baseline.
According to the latest HBF and Octopus Energy Watt a Save report, new build homeowners spend on average £420 less per year on energy than those in older properties, rising to £618 when compared to the least efficient homes. Homes rated A or B also produce up to 74% less carbon than older properties.
High-Speed Fibre Internet
All our developments are connected with full fibre optic broadband, supporting smart home technologies, home working, and digital lifestyles-all while being more energy-efficient than copper broadband networks.
Fast, reliable, and sustainable. It’s just another way we make your everyday life greener and easier.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Standard on all new homes
Every Hurstwood home is fitted with an air source heat pump, a renewable and low-emission alternative to traditional gas boilers. By extracting heat from the outside air, even in temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees, these systems provide efficient, consistent heating and hot water throughout the year while significantly reducing both running costs and carbon emissions.
Solar Panels & Battery Storage
Standard on all new homes
Our homes feature market-leading solar panels that generate renewable electricity directly from sunlight, paired with advanced battery and inverter systems that store excess energy for use when the sun is not shining. Even on cloudy days and through winter months, your home continues to benefit from the clean energy stored during brighter periods.
The benefits are straightforward. Reduced electricity bills, lower reliance on the grid and greater energy resilience throughout the year.
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
Our homes are fitted with a whole-house mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system. MVHR quietly works in the background, extracting stale and damp air from the home while recovering the heat from that air and using it to warm the fresh air drawn in from outside. The result is a home that breathes cleanly and efficiently, with consistently better air quality and no heat wasted.
Underfloor Heating & Smart Zoning
Ground-floor underfloor heating, controlled by intelligent Heatmiser thermostats, comes as standard in every Hurstwood home. Zoned temperature control means you only heat the spaces you need, when you need them. More comfortable, more efficient and better for the environment.
Electric Vehicle Chargers
Every home comes equipped with a dedicated EV charging point, built in as standard rather than added as an afterthought. As the shift to cleaner transport accelerates, your home is already ready.
High Speed Fibre Internet
All our developments are connected with full fibre optic broadband, supporting smart home technologies, home working and digital lifestyles, all while being more energy-efficient than traditional copper broadband networks.
Sustainable Materials
We are committed to using sustainable, local and recycled materials across every development.
- Natural stone and slate, locally sourced to reduce transportation emissions and complement the landscapes we build within
- Durable, long-lasting roof materials that reduce lifecycle environmental impact
- Recycled materials used throughout construction to lower waste and resource consumption
- Low-VOC finishes, creating a healthier indoor environment from day one
The Bottom Line
Choosing a Hurstwood home means investing in a home that uses less energy, emits less carbon and costs less to run, from the very first day you move in.
Every home we build is our commitment to a better standard. For our homeowners, for their communities and for the planet they belong to.
