With climate emergencies being declared at both national and international levels, there has never been a more important time to focus on environmental sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Our commitments

We aim to divert more than 99% of our construction waste from landfill by reusing or recycling on site, or removing from the site for re-use, recycling, recovery or disposal.

All our new build homes are constructed in timber frame, a manufacturing and building method that uses FSC-certified wood from responsibly and sustainably managed forests to deliver energy efficient, precision-engineered components that meet the highest construction standards.

To limit the effects of our new build developments on wildlife, including retaining trees where possible, rehoming protected species, and providing replacement trees.

Our homes feature

Enhanced insulation to improve energy efficiency

Energy efficient boilers

Energy efficient appliances

Energy efficient light fittings

Water flow restrictors and other water saving devices

Electric vehicle charging points

Landscaping to enhance the development's ecological

Waste water heat recovery

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Our promise for the future

Kellen Homes have adopted a ‘fabric first approach’ to minimise heat loss and improve airtightness in all of our homes, thus reducing energy costs for homeowners and provide a comfortable living environment all year round.

Working closely with building technology partners to create more eco-friendly housing, we are exploring ways to provide renewable technology such as Solar PV, Airsource heat pumps and waste water heat recovery to name but a few, into our homes as standard, of which will significantly reduce carbon and lower running costs of our homes.

We are committed to creating local employment opportunities, including where possible the use of local supply chain and subcontractors. Enabling local people to obtain the skills necessary to access employment, including facilitating apprenticeships through our supply chain and subcontractors.

And we are also investing in our employees to equip them with new skills for the future. We are striving to reduce barriers to employment within the construction industry for under-represented and disadvantaged groups.
