Construction company in Cheshire focuses on eco-friendly building practices
Archway Homes, an independent developer, has announced a bold commitment to sustainability in the housing industry. The company plans to improve the sustainability of materials used in its houses, focusing on energy-efficient construction methods and leveraging renewable resources such as wood, straw, clay, bamboo, and solar power for heating and lighting.
Rachael Whelan, Land and Sustainability Director at Archway Homes, emphasizes the industry's potential to lead the sustainable agenda. In a statement, she said, "The housing industry has the ability to lead the sustainable agenda."
To achieve this goal, Archway Homes will assess the materials used in their houses and identify where they could use more sustainable alternatives in the future. The company is also seeking partnerships with businesses that are committed to the green agenda.
Archway Homes believes that the new homes industry can lead by example in helping cut carbon emissions. As part of this effort, the company has pledged to build A-rated homes as part of an ambitious Green Agenda. This new A-rated specification aims to make homes more energy-efficient, saving running costs for consumers.
The changes to the specification will be funded by Archway Homes at no additional cost to the consumer, reflecting their commitment to a sustainable future. The new A-rated specification will be introduced at Lime Tree Grange, Cheshire Oaks.
However, Archway Homes acknowledges that the shift towards a zero-carbon agenda might necessitate redesigning house types. Infrastructure upgrades and the development of a manufacturing base to deliver cost-effective technology are necessary for sustainable building practices. The company also believes that government intervention will be crucial in driving changes within the supply chain, such as the removal of gas boilers.
Archway Homes emphasizes the importance of a state of mind and determination in finding sustainable ways to house future populations. The company is already taking steps in this direction, such as planting to promote biodiversity and introducing hedgehog holes in fences. Customers at Archway Homes will receive bird and bug boxes for their gardens and guidance on how to encourage wildlife.
Adopting a zero-carbon agenda requires a holistic approach, according to Rachael Whelan. She states, "The shift towards a zero-carbon agenda requires a holistic approach." Archway Homes anticipates significant changes in house design to accommodate technologies like air source heat pumps. The company's long-term objective might involve identifying and using more sustainable alternatives in the materials used in their houses.
