Featuring three low carbon homes, this development is the first of its kind in Crouch End (North London), with each house achieving a very low space heating demand.
With an ultra-low energy approach at its heart, these homes offer an extremely well insulated and airtight building envelope, triple glazed windows and a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system providing a constant supply of fresh and filtered air. In addition, the heating system, powered via an air source pump, combined with a thermal store, provides low-cost low-energy heating and hot water.
These homes have been designed to exceed the London Plan minimum space standards. They have been planned with flexibility, accessibility and comfort in mind, with particular regard to future wheelchair users.
