ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES
ClwydAlyn’s aim is to tackle fuel poverty and help minimise the impact less energy efficient homes can have on people’s health and wellbeing. Built using greener technologies and innovative designs, these new homes are super energy efficient and benefit from:
• • • • • • •
Air source heat pumps Solar electricity panels Solar electricity storage batteries Homes positioned to maximise solar gain and natural daylight Electric car charging facilities ‘Modern Methods of Construction’, using as many natural and sustainable materials as possible Sourcing materials from local manufacturers and suppliers, keeping carbon footprint low
These homes can make a big difference. They’ll help residents support the environment; save previous energy and they could save money in the long run too.

RESIDENTS MOVE IN!
Congratulations to our residents who moved into their new homes! With phase 1 complete, 18 residents moved into their new homes at the beginning of July. All homes are built as lifetime homes, enabling residents to live independently for as long as possible. They are designed so that they are adaptable and responsive to the changing needs of the residents. “ We jumped at the chance to move here because the layout is more open plan, with easy access, making it easy to get around. The hall and doors are wide, there’s a big garden, a downstairs wet room and we’re moving our stair lift in today. My two-year-old is full of energy so this house will be great. Having double doors onto the garden is brilliant I can get out into the garden really easy here. “

“ It’s reassuring to know our home is efficient, I’m very much on the recycling and I’m looking forward to living in a home with solar panels and greener heating. You don’t realise how hard access is until you don’t have it, my daughter’s future with Cystic Fibrosis is a rare one, and every couple of years there’s something different happening. So just knowing that I have wheelchair access, a downstairs wet room and knowing that I’m covered for the future if anything does change with her is amazing. It’s still not really sunk in. “
