As Evans Homes continues to grow as a business, our core values remain the same and building sustainably remains an important part of how we design and build our homes.

Growth should never come at the expense of standards. For us, it means continuing to invest in responsible building practices and sustainable solutions that support long term value for our customers, our communities and Yorkshire as a whole.

Our sustainably built homes are designed to be efficient to run, comfortable to live in and better for the environment. From modern construction methods to carefully chosen features, each element helps reduce energy use while also helping homeowners save money.

Modern insulation and airtight construction

High quality insulation and airtight construction help homes retain heat more effectively.

• Cost saving Lower heating bills because the home stays warmer for longer.

• Environmental impact Reduced energy consumption and carbon output.

Energy efficient windows and doors

Well designed windows and doors help keep warmth inside and prevent drafts.

• Cost saving Heating systems do not need to work as hard to maintain comfortable temperatures.

• Environmental impact Less wasted energy improves overall efficiency.

Efficient heating systems

Modern heating systems are designed to deliver reliable warmth using less energy.

• Cost saving Lower fuel consumption means reduced energy bills.

• Environmental impact Using less fuel results in fewer emissions.

LED and low energy lighting

Energy efficient lighting is fitted throughout the home.

• Cost saving LED lighting uses far less electricity and lasts longer than traditional bulbs.

• Environmental impact Lower electricity demand reduces pressure on the energy grid.

Water efficient taps toilets and showers

Carefully selected fittings help reduce water consumption across the home.

• Cost saving Using less water helps reduce water bills and the energy needed to heat hot water.

• Environmental impact Lower water consumption and reduced energy use.

Smart layouts that maximise natural light

Homes are designed to allow natural light to flow through living spaces.

• Cost saving Less reliance on artificial lighting during the day.

• Environmental impact Reduced electricity usage overall.

EV ready parking where provided

Selected homes include EV ready parking to support electric vehicles.

• Cost saving Lower running costs if you switch to an electric vehicle.

• Environmental impact Supports zero emission travel.

Looking ahead, new developments such as Whinmoor Fields will also incorporate air source heat pumps to help deliver lower carbon, energy efficient homes.
