EV charging points available of spend invested in modern methods of construction 100 per cent of our new build schemes benefit from low carbon or renewable technologies and we are transitioning from gas-led infrastructure to decarbonised electrified systems through either air or ground source heat pumps. When connecting to neighbourhood systems we are advocating similarly progressive strategies to support a holistic transition for communities. Given our schemes’ sustainable locations, we are including less car parking provision but when available we install at least 20 per cent EV charging points and increasingly circa-80 per cent passive infrastructure for residents. This approach coalesces with the Green Travel Plans we provide at all schemes. To ensure we are preparing for the FHS we design in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Technical Guidance Delivering on our strategy CREATIVE BUILDING SOLUTIONScontinued TM59 and undertake Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE). This means we are working towards closing the gap between design and performance on operational energy use. POE is providing important data to inform the project lifecycle and improved operational expenditure (OPEX) for our partners and customers. This work is aligned with our commitment to enhancing fabric efficiency standards, achieving a B-rated Environmental Performance Certificate (EPCs) and targeting at least a 40 per cent CO2 emissions improvement compared with 2010 Building Regulations. We are committed to the FHS and continue to measure our projects in achieving BREEAM Excellent ratings. Along with the NextGeneration emerging innovation proposal, we believe each methodology creates a format to independently demonstrate our sustainability performance. These complementary approaches (along with SBT and TCFD) provide all stakeholders with the confidence that their investments are future-proofed, the user experience is improved and asset obsolescence is mitigated. During 2020 our partners have not requested Building Research Establishment (BRE) Home Quality Mark (HQM), WELL assessments or the highest BREEAM standards. Nevertheless, during 2021 we will monitor appetite for these criteria and prepare our practices in readiness, as we believe there is a growing demand for green finance, underpinned by such assessment methodologies. 10% 10% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
