Reynolds Avenue Passive Houses, South Tyneside
The energy efficiency of Passivhaus design is one of the reasons why our client, South Tyneside Homes, chose to adopt the standard for new homes at their proposed pioneering Reynolds Avenue project. They want to keep utility bills down for residents, whilst also minimising their carbon footprint.
As the project enters its planning stages, Simon Mercer, Asset Manager at South Tyneside Homes, explains more.
“South Tyneside Homes on behalf South Tyneside Council are committed to providing energy efficient homes for our residents and tackling fuel poverty. We have made a commitment to address carbon emissions in the borough and are taking all necessary steps to make the Council carbon neutral by 2030 through our climate change strategy and action plan.”
He continues to say “We will use this scheme to monitor and review the impact of the systems within the homes to help inform future development opportunities. As technologies change, we need to ensure we are developing homes that are fit for purpose in the future and meet the needs of our tenants with a cost-effective strategy.”
