More about Model Home 2020
VELUX will build two zero carbon homes, in Rothwell, Kettering in 2010. Located within the second phase of the Bovis Homes’ Charter Park development to the South of Rothwell, the three and four bed semi detached properties have been designed to deliver a 70% reduction in carbon emissions with the remaining 30% of carbon offset by allowable solutions. The homes will be open plan and incorporate high levels of daylight, natural ventilation and renewable technologies. VELUX intends the scheme to act as a standard for future sustainable homes and new communities in Kettering and beyond. It has designed the homes to compliment modern lifestyles and substantially reduce carbon emissions while remaining profitable and simple to replicate for the mass housebuilder.
More about VELUX Company Ltd
VELUX believe that new and existing homes should conform to a sustainable living agenda. However this should not be at the detriment to either living standards or the health and well-being of a building’s occupants. Sustainable living should embrace modern lifestyles and the changing needs of society, while providing a building enclosure that encourages a healthy indoor climate. The use of natural daylighting and ventilation is prerequisite to a healthy lifestyle and the use of secure renewable technology such as solar thermal is a commonsense approach to low energy building solutions.
