Pinnacle of energy efficiency and sustainability
Our latest new homes in Engine Common lead towards an energy efficient and sustainable lifestyle. Infact, they are zero carbon. This makes them the absolute pinnacle of energy efficiency and environmental impact with their renwable technologies. This puts them up at the higher end of the EPC ‘A’ rating scale with some homes even achieving scores over the top rating. Great Oaks even boasts its own set of allotments, available to homeowners on a first come, first served basis. You could be growing and harvesting your own produce just meters away from home!
What makes a home zero carbon?
By jettisoning gas boilers in favour of air source heat pumps, increasing the quality and specification of our solar panels, and upping the insulation levels, we’ve achieved a home which creates as much prime energy* as it needs. In addition, all our zero carbon homes will be automatically enrolled on a zero carbon renewable energy tariff.
* Prime energy is the regulated energy used to provide lighting, heating and hot water in the home assessed by a standard procedure assuming a typical family lifestyle as indicated in the home’s Energy Performance Certificate.
Summertime energy running costs from £3.57 per week*…
Looking back at our first development of zero carbon homes at Ryves Vale in Tickenham reveals some impressive stats. Some homeowners report weekly summertime energy running costs at just £3.57*. See what makes our climate considerate developments so special…

Zero carbon & energy saving
- Each home is designed with a ‘Predicted Energy Assessment’ (PEA) to ensure it is energy efficient and meets or exceeds current regulative standards
- Every home is then air tested for leakage to ensure exacting predicted energy performance ratings are met, and the PEA is converted into the homes’ ‘Energy Performance Certificate’ (EPC)
This is all achieved through using energy efficient materials in the fabric of the construction materials, including:
- Underfloor heating to the ground floor with radiators to first floor with individual thermostatic valves
- Air source heat pumps
- Solar PV panels
- High performance insulation to roof, ground floor and external walls
- Double glazed windows and doors with energy efficient glazing
- Dual flush toilets and water saving aerated taps as standard, which use less water but maintain pressure
- Composting facilities to assist with gardening and food waste
- Water butt for rainwater harvesting
