Park Avenue
You Are Home
Entrant's Summary: At Park Avenue in Brighton, You Are Home has built two EPC A-rated design-led townhouses – a measurement achieved by less than 1% of new homes in England and Wales* – alongside seven B/C-rated apartments in a converted mansion house. Investment in vapour barrier walls to increase air tightness and the inclusion of underfloor heating with a Smart Nest heating system, air source heat pump with whole house ventilation and heat recovery, boiling water tap, a green roof, and electric car charging facilities contribute to the impressive energy ratings of the houses. Sustainable materials have been used throughout the construction process.
