The Environmental Rating for Homes

Are you or your client considering a new development, or extensive renovation of houses and apartments?

Have you or your client considered the Environmental impact of such construction works and how best to improve environmental performance through good design?

If so, why not consider EcoHomes?

EcoHomes is an easily understood, credible label for new and renovated homes including houses and apartments, sponsored by NHBC. 
EcoHomes can reward those developers who improve environmental performance through good design with the following potential benefits:-

• Smooth passage of planning approvals by demonstrating sustainability credentials to planning authorities.
  
  
• Minimisation of investment risk and increased appeal to potential investors by demonstrating ‘green’ credentials.
  
  
• Increased saleability by demonstrating superior environmental design to customers through reduced running costs and the creation of healthy, comfortable and flexible internal environments.

Hills can assist with EcoHomes through all stages of design by providing specific design advice, pre-assessment ratings, review of standard specifications and house types through to full certification.
