At Kingswood Homes, we understand this evolving need and have made it our mission to create homes that not only provide exceptional living spaces but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Our energy efficient homes showcase how innovative design and cutting-edge technology can work together to create living spaces that are both comfortable and environmentally conscious.

Understanding the Energy Efficiency Revolution

Modern homebuyers are increasingly prioritising energy efficiency in their property searches, and for good reason. With energy costs continuing to rise and environmental concerns at the forefront of global discussions, energy efficient homes offer a practical solution to both financial and ecological challenges.

The Technology Behind the Savings

Our Kingswood homes incorporate cutting-edge technology and design features that work together to create an efficient living environment:

  • Advanced Glazing Systems: Our energy efficient glazing reduces heat loss in the winter and prevents overheating in the summer, keeping your home at optimum temperature and saving energy as well as providing stunning views!
  • Solar Integration: Solar PV roof panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity you can use in your home.
  • Smart Water Management: Heat recovery systems reuse the waste water from your shower in your heating system, therefore using less energy to get up to temperature.
  • Superior Insulation: With increased amounts of high performance insulation in the walls and roof, your new home retains its heat for longer and uses less energy.
  • Air tightness: Our homes are built to be airtight, preventing draughts and heat loss through gaps, making them more energy efficient and comfortable to live in.
  • Smart technology: Built-in smart meters and heating controls help you monitor and manage your energy usage more effectively, leading to potential cost savings.
  • LED lighting: Energy-efficient LED lighting comes as standard, using up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs while lasting much longer.
