Our project, to build four eco-friendly homes constructed on behalf of the Holy Island Development Trust, was shortlisted for the Sustainability Award at the North East Construction Excellence awards at a ceremony at Newcastle’s Marriot Gosforth Park Hotel on Friday 7th May 2010. The new homes, which will only be available to rent as affordable housing for members of the Holy Island working community, were built to the highest standards available today in terms of eco-efficiency. The sustainable timber frame construction is very highly insulated using recycled warmcel insulation pumped into the walls and the ground floor. Coupled with additional insulative render boards this means the energy efficient homes will stay warmer for longer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Hot water is provided with the assistance of solar panels for a pre heat solution which will decrease the running costs of any tenants, the first of whom moved in at Christmas.
