ABOUT US
Green Credentials
Shanly Homes prides itself as a premium house builder that embraces key environmental issues and policies. The Company will strive to remain as an industry leader in the key issue of the environment and achieve our goal of staying ahead of Statutory Building Regulation requirements on all our future developments.
We are pro-active in improving the environmental standards of our homes, constantly monitoring and testing sustainable energy solutions to go some way towards reducing our future homes' reliance upon traditional energy resources and in turn their carbon emissions into the environment. For example, we are already incorporating solar water heating and air sourced heating systems to a number of properties.
Alternative products and materials include 'green roofing' systems, water collection butts to most houses, improved ecology through specifically designed landscaping and the sourcing of many timbers from sustainable resources. Where possible we incorporate 'A' rated kitchen appliances for their energy efficiency and use of recycled materials and provide every home with energy efficient light fittings to appropriate areas.
Many of these initiatives will help to improve the SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) ratings, the Government's guidelines for insulation and energy efficiency, within our homes.
The Shanly Group has also made a commitment to enhance the environment by supporting the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, the Woodland Trust. As part of the partnership Shanly Homes will plant ten native trees for every house that we build and five trees for every apartment we build. These trees will be planted in some of the charity's 1,000 UK woods and will help the charity move one step closer to achieving its long term vision of doubling native woodland cover in the UK.
