Sustainability
Built with Purpose, Designed for the Future
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and Woodward Homes is committed to delivering high-quality, zero-electricity homes across the Home Counties.
Every decision we make, from site selection to final build, is led by our commitment to environmental responsibility and providing long-term value. Our team brings knowledge and expertise to every project which is why we are able to reduce build time by up to 50% compared to traditional construction.
What Makes Woodward Homes Sustainable?
Our approach combines thoughtful planning, well-considered material choices, and innovative technology to create homes that respect and support the environment as well as deliver lasting benefits for homeowners and their surrounding communities.
Conscientious Site Evaluation and Planning
Each development is carefully evaluated for access to public transport, local biodiversity, and community impact, ensuring we build responsibly and contribute to the improvement of the surrounding environment.
Zero-Electricity by Design
Our homes are designed to generate more electricity than they expend, achieving zero-electricity status. This means homeowners rely far less on external power, drastically reducing carbon emissions while concurrently providing substantial savings on energy bills.
Premium, Eco-Conscious Materials
We carefully select durable, sustainably-sourced Scandinavian timber and other high-quality materials known for their strength, zero snagging, and low environmental impact.
Advanced Energy Systems
Incorporating advanced technologies, such as solar panels and smart heating controls, our homes optimise energy use and comfort year-round without compromising on sustainability.
Benefits of Sustainable Homes
Choosing a Woodward home is not just about investing in a property; it’s a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, significant savings, and a positive impact on the environment. Here are some of the key benefits of our sustainable properties:
- Substantial Energy Cost Savings: Zero-electricity homes drastically reduce, and in many cases completely eliminate, electricity bills, saving homeowners thousands of pounds each year.
- Net Zero Carbon Footprint: By balancing energy generation and consumption, our homes contribute to cleaner air and a healthier planet, benefiting both homeowners and the surrounding environment.
- Increased Comfort and Indoor Air Quality: Enhanced insulation and smart climate controls create comfortable and healthy living spaces, no matter the time of year.
- Long-Term Durability and Value: As our homes have been designed from the outset to meet future sustainability standards, they retain their value long-term and stand the test of time.
- Supporting Local Ecology: Landscaping and sustainable drainage systems support and improve biodiversity, creating thriving habitats that attract wildlife and help preserve the natural environment.
Sustainability at Every Stage of the Development Process
- Site Selection: We carefully assess each potential location based on public transport access, ecological impact, and the overall effect on local communities to ensure responsible development.
- Design & Planning: Our homes are designed to maximise energy efficiency, natural light, and maintain airtightness for optimal comfort and reduced energy usage.
- Material Choice: We prioritise sustainable and durable materials, such as Scandinavian timber, which is 2,000% more airtight than UK alternatives.
- Construction: Waste and pollution are minimised as much as possible during building, with a strong focus on recycling materials wherever possible to reduce the carbon footprint.
- Technology Integration: We install innovative systems such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and smart heating controls to improve both energy performance and homeowner comfort.
- Community Enhancement: Our developments include green spaces, sustainable drainage systems, and biodiversity initiatives to support local wildlife and produce thriving, healthy neighbourhoods.
