From the initial design through to how you are going to live in one of our homes, we consider the environmental impact of our design, materials and finishes. We are committed to building homes that are both beautiful and ecologically sustainable. Through constant innovation and considered use of technology, we aim to exceed current standards, where possible, so that our homes will be energy efficient and continue to have a low impact on the environment.

Each Orchard Home comes with a predicted energy report.

At Orchard Homes we carefully consider the needs of each development, as such we landscape the grounds, add butts to collect rainwater, introduce wildlife boxes, plant a wide variety of plants, build children’s play areas, shrubs and trees to attract butterflies, bees and birds, rotary clothes dryers, composting sites and sustainable drainage systems. Inside the homes, all the kitchen appliances are Class A energy efficient, have segregated waste bins, thermal efficiencies and, in some cases, we introduce heat recovery systems and Air Source heat pumps, all of which means reduced energy bills and good EPC ratings.
