Engineered for performance, built using natural materials

Greencore constructs these homes using the BIOND panel system, an advanced timber frame insulated with natural bio-based materials including hemp, lime, and wood fibre.

• Climate-Positive Construction: The natural hemp and wood fibre materials used in construction absorb more atmospheric carbon during their growth than is emitted during factory manufacture. This makes the building structure better than net zero embodied carbon.
• Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR): Continuously circulates fresh, filtered air while removing indoor moisture, allergens, and airborne pollutants. The system recovers up to 90% of internal heat to maintain a constant, warm indoor temperature.
• Rooftop Solar PV Array: High-efficiency solar panels generate clean electricity directly on-site to power your appliances and heat pump.
• Triple Glazing & High-Performance Insulation: Advanced timber/composite triple-glazed windows eliminate cold draughts and drastically reduce outside traffic noise.
