Welcome to Low Carbon Homes

The Low Carbon Homes web-site is sponsored by Gusto Group Limited [hyperlink], and our partner developers.

The website is aimed at home-buyers who would like a practical understanding of the Code for Sustainable Homes, the way in which the Code measures the carbon footprint of new houses, and what that means terms of running costs and quality of construction.

Because of Climate Change and rising energy costs, building all new homes to zero-carbon or low-carbon standards is now a principal aim of UK national planning policy, reflected in stamp-duty relief for houses built to zero-carbon standards.

The low-carbon homes website links house-buyers with housing developments that are being built to low-carbon and zero-carbon standards. It also provides an opportunity to register your interest in owning a low-carbon or zero-carbon home to inform our partner developers of demand in their area.

This site enables users to shop for the low-carbon or zero-carbon homes of their dreams armed with the right knowledge and the confidence that the properties listed on this site have been built by high quality accredited house builders.
