Case Studies

An advanced manufacturing facility aiming to transition to a new purpose built facility built to Passive Plus performance standard, using renewable energy to power not only the building but the production equipment.

144 homes will provide local supply chain opportunities to achieve economies of scale for the materials and components necessary to achieve Zero Carbon homes.

Demonstrating how higher density buildings like flats and apartments can be designed and operated to provide greater energy benefits to residents.

Delivered under the IHP, this project transforms blighted places, enhancing the wellbeing of residents and enabling constrained sites to be developed to a density of 30-40 dwellings per hectare

Part of the City Deal “Homes as Power  Stations” project. The project will be delivered utilising ground source heat pumps, solar PV with batteries and mechanical ventilation heat recovery.

Parc Hadau includes multiple innovations throughout the scheme.

Seven storey main block and four storey secondary block delivered under IHP, featuring vertical sky gardens, vertical greening, bio-solar blue/green roof and integrated SUDS system

This project will allow those with physical disabilities to remain in their homes and live in suitable accommodation when in need.

An exemplar model of how GP’s support residents in Care Homes will be developed and Flintshire County Council are working alongside Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) to develop a solution that will ensure that residents receive timely and consistent care from all services, with both social care and health service staff all working together.

Houses built under IHP, with natural, local materials. For the first time, roof trusses have been manufactured from Welsh timber, and are “homes as power stations” – they generate more electricity than they consume.

A “Homes as Power Stations” project delivered under IHP, using a Fabric first approach with integrated PV-T panels and a shared loop ground source heat pump.

Residential project delivered under IHP, demonstrating use of structural timber over 4 storeys, with dowel laminated timber components manufactured off site.

Cyngor Gwynedd has developed four pods in Caernarfon to provide temporary supported accommodation for homeless people in the area. The pods were designed following ‘Passivhaus’ principles, meaning that these units are energy efficient and very well insulated.

A “Homes as Power Stations” project based on the Solcer Homes approach with solar PV, Transpired Solar Collectors, thermal & electrical storage.

This development delivered under IHP uses high-specification new homes that will be more economical for tenants to run in an era of high energy costs, demonstrating the use of Welsh timber.

Using a green energy model to reduce energy use and provide energy storage, and develop a local supply chain.
