One of the most exciting parts of buy a new house is customising many of the features and fittings. When you buy an off-plan or in-construction house from a developer, you are often able to choose various features such as the kitchen design, the bathroom tiles and so on.
However, now with global warming and environmental factors coming into play in all parts of our lives, you can now pick and choose which eco features you would like your new home to have.
One of the largest home builders in the UK is now offering its house buyers a range of eco-friendly features in their home developments in Cambridgeshire, in southern England. House buyers can select green features the same they would choose the kitchen layout or other interior details.
In the show home in the Nightingale development by Barratt homes you can see the full range of eco features. These include solar panels for hot water and electric, triple glazing to ensure heat is kept within the house, flooring made from sustainable wood or other products, eco-friendly paint, all low energy appliances, rain water harvesting to save on water consumption and an energy saving ventilation system.
The show home has information and display boards to explain how all the features work. ALl new houses built nowadays have to comply with strict environmental qualities but the added features in these new Barratt houses should save the average family around £1,000 and cut their carbon footprint by around half.
The two open show homes [called the Nightingale and the Nightingale Plus] are identical semi-detached Houses for Sale, both built to code three sustainable home level, however the Nightingale home has ben furnished congenitally, where as the Nightingale Plus house next door has not been furnished so that those viewings the house can see the eco friendly features and see the upgrade options more easily.
The show home features solar photo rotatic panels so that the solar panels can rotate and always be kept perpendicular to the sun for maximum efficiency. There are also various schemes for heat recovery in the house so that heat is taken from exhaust air from vet areas such as the bathroom and kitchen and this heat is then transferred to fresh air coming into the house and used to heat other living sections of the house. This re-use of energy helps to keep heating cost-effective.
Rainwater is collected from the roof in large containers and stored and can be put through an aquifer and then used for drinking water or used for running other appliances in the house such as washing machines.
Even the gardens of these show houses are eco-friendly with raised garden beds and a composter to turn the household waste into compost for grown your own vegetables.
