To reach the UK Government’s aspirations of achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 means a big drive to new housing models, and we aspire to demonstrate at a large scale that low and zero carbon housing is both a great energy solution and desirable for residents. We are working on some of the UK’s largest pathfinding projects in both new build and retrofit, and the ones we can talk about are below! We’ll continue to update as new schemes become public or join us.
Sero Energy is providing our smart energy management service to our sister company, Sero Homes, to help deliver around 35 net zero carbon, beautifully designed homes in Rhydyfro, Pontardawe in South Wales. The scheme has low energy fabric homes with significant photovoltaic generation and energy storage, together with an ecologically sensitive layout and landscaping, that make it one of the largest zero carbon developments in the UK to date.
Tirion Homes and Pobl living, in partnership with Sero Energy, will deliver low energy systems for the entire 225 new homes being built Northwest of Cardiff. Sero Energy has worked to help push the fabric performance of these homes, and supported our partners design and implement the technologies which include ground source heat pumps, photovoltaics, energy storage and smart electric vehicle charging. Tirion is seeking to prove the commercial proposition of low energy housing using innovative long-term investment structures
This project, funded by the UK’s Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, is developing improved forecasting, intelligence and management of domestic energy systems, with the goal of allowing them to be controlled by Sero Life and for Sero Energy to provide Demand Side Response services to the Grid. The project is a collaboration with PassivSystems, and wider project partners include Mixergy, sonnen, Samsung, Cornwall Insights, Good Energy, Western Power and the BRE.
