Sustainability at Westminster Homes

Building for today — and tomorrow.

We believe true quality goes beyond appearance. Sustainability sits at the heart of every home we build, from energy-efficient design through to responsible construction practice.

Our approach

Designed with responsibility in mind.

Sustainability is built into every decision we take — from materials and construction methods through to energy use and design.

Our new homes are designed to meet modern energy performance standards, with features intended to reduce environmental impact, lower energy costs and improve long-term efficiency.

We believe that better homes make stronger communities, and that sustainable design is how we make that possible.

The standard we work to

A minimum EPC rating of B+, designed in from the start.

Our new homes are designed to achieve a minimum EPC rating of B+ (SAP 84+), without fossil fuel heating or energy sources. We treat that as a design constraint rather than an aspiration: it shapes the orientation of a building, the thickness of its walls and the systems we specify.

Getting the fabric right first — insulation, airtightness, glazing — means the heating and hot water systems can be smaller, simpler and cheaper to run. It is a less visible approach than adding technology late, and a considerably more durable one.

Energy performance figures quoted here are design targets. Final ratings are confirmed on completion by an accredited assessor, and figures for individual homes may vary by plot and orientation.

How we do it

Six measures in every scheme.

Specification decisions that consistently do the most for comfort, running costs and emissions.

  • 01

    Premium glazing

    Specified to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss through the building envelope.

  • 02

    Premium insulation

    Wall and roof insulation for better climate control and lower operational emissions.

  • 03

    Solar water heating

    Where applicable, solar thermal systems reduce reliance on traditional heating.

  • 04

    LED lighting

    Efficient lighting throughout, chosen to reduce day-to-day energy consumption.

  • 05

    No fossil fuels

    Our new homes are designed to be free of fossil fuel heating and energy sources.

  • 06

    Smart construction practices

    From material selection through to layout, each home is planned with sustainability in mind.

What it means for residents

Why it matters day to day.

Lower energy costs
A well-insulated, efficiently heated home should cost less to run over its lifetime.
Long-term efficiency
Performance designed into the fabric does not degrade the way bolt-on systems can.
Stronger communities
Better homes make stronger communities — sustainable design is how we make that possible.

In every development

Sustainability across the portfolio.

From Bath Road to Glenhaven Yard and our forthcoming scheme in Staines-upon-Thames, every Westminster Homes property is built to the same sustainability commitment.
