Statement on Florence House as an Eco House

Florence House is a highly energy-efficient and sustainable home that meets key eco-building principles, incorporating renewable energy, water conservation, and superior insulation. Designed with a strong commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, the house is an exemplar of modern eco-conscious living.

Energy Efficiency & Performance

Florence House has achieved an EPC rating of 82 (B), demonstrating a high level of energy efficiency that significantly reduces the household’s reliance on external energy sources. Additionally, its Environmental Impact Rating of 96 (A)highlights the exceptionally low carbon emissions associated with the property, reinforcing its role as a sustainable home that contributes positively to the environment.

Renewable & Sustainable Heating Systems

The house is equipped with an air source heat pump, a highly efficient renewable energy system that extracts heat from the outside air, minimizing reliance on fossil fuels. This system works in harmony with the underfloor heating, which ensures even heat distribution while operating at lower temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. By integrating these technologies, Florence House benefits from reduced energy consumption and lower heating costs, aligning with best practices for low-carbon housing.

Water Conservation & Sustainable Resource Use

Sustainability at Florence House extends beyond energy efficiency to water conservation. The inclusion of a rainwater harvesting allows for the collection and reuse of rainwater for non-potable applications such as , irrigation. This reduces the demand on mains water, conserving a vital natural resource and lowering water bills.

Sustainable Construction & Material Sourcing

The construction of Florence House prioritizes environmental responsibility by utilizing locally sourced materials. By reducing transportation emissions and supporting local suppliers, this approach minimizes the carbon footprint associated with the building process. The use of sustainable materials also enhances the home's durability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements, further contributing to its eco-friendly credentials.

High Insulation & Airtightness

A key feature of Florence House is its high level of insulation, which ensures optimal thermal performance throughout the year. Superior insulation reduces heat loss during the winter and maintains a cooler indoor environment in the summer, thus lowering energy demand for heating and cooling. The house also has an airtightness rating of 2.57 m³/(h·m²) at 50 Pa, which is a significant improvement over standard homes. While not at Passivhaus level, this level of airtightness ensures minimal energy loss, contributing to overall efficiency and occupant comfort.
