The main physical requirements of new housing are comfort; security; and economy of fuel use. All new affordable housing schemes are built to minimum internal floor area sizes and many are built to Eco-Homes 'Very Good' standard which requires enhanced insulation and intrinsic fuel economy. We are also looking at including further efficiency measures such as rainwater harvesting and solar panels.
