GreenGauge Homes at Lingwood

The Lingwood homes have not been in occupation for a full year of monitoring, but early indications suggest that tenants will see between 13% and 30% savings on energy use (KWh/m2) compared to an industry standard home.

From a capital cost point of view, we expect to be able to build GreenGauge Homes for between approximately 3-5% more than an industry standard scheme of the same period, but with the benefit of reduced cost in use for both tenants and management.

The scheme at Lingwood has already had a significant positive impact on the local community. Whilst teaching the design team about the performance of sustainable construction ‘in the field’, the homes are also helping the tenants keep their running costs down and demonstrating the practical value of considering one’s impact on the environment.
