Energy Efficiency Homes

At Kent Building Developments we are committed to producing energy efficient buildings and 'green homes'. We use the best products and energy efficient measures in all our projects. This includes private homes and commercial buildings.

We do this is not just from an environmental point of view but also to help reduce the fuel bills of our customers! The way we do this is to use efficient heating systems and high levels of insulation. Where possible we also use solar power to produce domestic hot water and reduce glazing on north facing walls.

In 2009 we completed the first eco house in York and one of only a few in the UK. This house shows perfectly what we can do. What our customers don't initially realise is that the energy efficient methods we use mean the  homes we build provide filtered air systems which are excellent for allergy sufferers.

Here's what the owner of York's first eco home had to say.

"The house is incredibly well-insulated, meaning it requires only 3kW of heating. That's equivalent to three bars of an electric fire to heat the entire house, in temperatures down to minus five degrees Celsius and the clever bit is that the air from inside warms up the fresh air coming in, so 80 per cent of the heat is retained. The constantly filtered air means the system is also excellent for allergy suffers." TD home owner.
