The developer (and owner) of this home is David Hill, who previously developed the UK's first Code 6 new build Zero Carbon homes in Upton, Northampton. He is now
director of Carbon Legacy Ltd. A summary of the measures and technologies installed can be seen at http://wbecohouses.blogspot.com/. Although the building itself has been complete for some time now, the final addition of further renewable energy generation is soon to be carried out. This house has the advantage of 3 years' energy data post-completion, showing that energy use will be fully matched by energy generation once the outstanding installation work is complete.
Open to any interested groups or individuals, though priority will be given to representatives from Growing Climate Friendly Communities (funded through the Climate Skills programme).
