The city of Bradford in the U.K. will witness the construction of homes built to the Code for Sustainable Homes’ Level 6. As part of a council housing project of Bradford, around 45 novel homes will be constructed on Longfield Drive, West Bowling.
Out of the 45 homes, 12 will obtain the Level 6 standard of the code, meaning they will achieve zero carbon emissions, whereas the other 33 homes will be constructed to Level 4 standard of the code.
The Level 6 homes will comprise solar PV panels and a communal biomass boiler, whereas the Level 4 properties will comprise solar-powered heating. All of the homes will be fitted with a rainwater harvesting equipment. Recently, iSuppli reported that the U.K. will become the quickest growing solar PV market this year.
