It seems that everyone is talking about energy these days. How best to generate it, how to save it or how to reduce the cost of it.
Imagine not having to worry about it at all for the next two years.
That’s been the vision for Electric Corby’s latest project, which, after two years of work is now bringing Zero Energy Bill homes to Priors Hall Park.
It seems that everyone is talking about energy these days. How best to generate it, how to save it or how to reduce the cost of it.
Imagine not having to worry about it at all for the next two years.
That’s been the vision for Electric Corby’s latest project, which, after two years of work is now bringing Zero Energy Bill homes to Priors Hall Park. This groundbreaking project had a formal ceremony at the start of November as building work got under way.
Having secured Growing Places funding from SEMLEP last year, Electric Corby has worked with the developers of Priors Hall Park and energy experts to finalise plans for these three-bedroom, semi-detached homes that have been described as ‘traditional with a twist’ – traditional in design but with an important twist – the very latest renewable technology built in.
This UK-designed and built solution is the first in the world to combine three different renewable energy solutions into a single efficient and reliable system able to meet the heating and hot water requirements of well-insulated homes, saving the homeowner an average of a £1,000 per annum in energy bills.
With the addition of a home automation system that enables homeowners to remotely control and manage their home’s lighting, appliances, heating and hot water, Electric Corby is guaranteeing that homeowners will have a net energy bill of zero for two years. Thereafter, residents will be well placed to fend off ever-increasing energy prices with a home that not only conserves energy better than most, but also generates much of its own needs at no cost to the bill payer.
Electric Corby has worked with leading edge renewable energy technology company Newform Energy and groundbreaking home automation firm JSJS Designs to develop a package that makes living with these new ZEB homes entirely familiar but refreshingly future focused.
Construction will continue over the winter, with the first homes ready to occupy in the spring of 2014, but homebuyers can reserve one now at the Priors Hall Park Future Centre.
