Brookside Valley

LOW SOLAR GAIN GLAZING

• Whilst lovely to have, large windows can make rooms hot. The glazing used in many of the windows at Brookside Valley helps to eradicate solar gain so the rooms don’t get too hot in the summer.

ROOFLIGHT  

• Rooflights installed in the roofs provide an extra source of daylight all year round, as well as a simple way of letting warm air escape during the height of summer. *Only on selected properties

EXTRA-LARGE WINDOWS

• The large windows used throughout Brookside Valley let in plenty of natural light, reducing the need of switching the lights on. Aluminium composite windows are also highly durable and low maintenance.

SMART METERS

• Smart meters are provided so you can keep an eye on your electrical consumption.

DOUBLE GLAZING

• Double glazing provides better insulation, noise reduction, security, condensation control, and UV protection comparedto single glazing. These benefits contribute to improved energy efficiency, comfort, and well-being in your house.

ECO APPLIANCES

• Energy efficient kitchen appliances, aerated showerheads and taps help keep electricity and water consumption low.

DOMESTIC RECYCLING

• Kitchens have an integrated bin which are separated into sections for domestic recycling. Composting bins will also be provided to some houses.

CYCLE STORAGE

• All homes have a secure parking place for bikes – one for every person

AIRTIGHTNESS

• All joining elements of the buildings are virtually sealed, and common air leakage problems, like letterboxes, have been solved through design. On most new build developments of more than 40 homes, only 5% of the properties would be tested for airtightness – at Knights Park, every home will be thoroughly tested.

WARM AND DRAUGHT-FREE

• High levels of insulation and triple glazing keep homes warm and the heating turned down.

GREEN AND BROWN ROOFS

• Benefit the local ecology and help to prevent flooding.

MECHANICAL VENTILATION HEAT RECOVERY (MVHR)

• The MVHR ensures a constant flow of clean, fresh filtered air. It removes stale air from kitchens and bathrooms and uses the warmth from this to heat the fresh air supplied to bedrooms and living spaces 

LOW ENERGY/LED LIGHTING

• Because of the large windows in each property, the homes benefit from plenty of natural light, but as another simple way to reduce energy consumption, low energy lighting has been fitted throughout.

SOLAR PV PANELS

• Create renewable energy for the homes.
