There are solar PV panels with battery storage, an air source heat pump, and a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system. All of the above combined with a heavily insulated dwelling create a very inexpensive and green house to own and run. It is unusual to find a developer who is prepared to put this amount of technology and expense into a property however Kaybee Developments pride themselves on being a forward thinking green company with sustainability at the heart of their ethos. They want to create classical modern houses that are not only relevant in today's market but for many years to come.

MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY

MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) provides fresh filtered air into a building whilst retaining most of the energy that has already been used in heating the building. Heat Recovery Ventilation is the solution to the ventilation needs of energy efficient buildings. Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a whole house ventilation system that both supplies and extracts air throughout a property. This is increasingly used to reduce the heating and cooling demands of buildings. A heat recovery ventilation system works by extracting moist and stale air from wet rooms in your home, it recovers the usually lost heat from the extracted air. It also supplies clean, filtered fresh air that is heated from the recovered warmth of the extracted heat. As an added bonus, this system can make your home more energy efficient when installed correctly.

SOLAR PV AND BATTERY STORAGE

Solar PV systems are popular with homeowners seeking to reduce their energy bills and their impact on the environment. But when considering solar panels, a common challenge is that solar arrays only generate electricity when the sun is shining and homes often have a significant evening usage. If this is the case, solar battery storage offers an ideal solution allowing homeowners to fully harness that clean, green energy day and night. Solar battery storage works by capturing any excess electricity generated by solar panels during daylight hours and holding it in reserve for use at a later time. This stored energy can then be tapped into after dark to keep the lights on or during cloudy spells to avoid drawing from the grid. With the combination of solar panels and battery banks, you can use more of the power you generate and it s often more cost effective than exporting your energy to the grid.
