What does Better Than Net Zero mean?

An average UK home emits 60–100 tonnes of embodied carbon during construction and 3 to 5 tonnes each year in occupation.
A Greencore home is Better Than Zero embodied carbon during construction and Net Zero each year in occupation.
Residents enjoy future proofed sustainable homes enabling lower energy bills.

How does Better Than Net Zero benefit you?

We build and craft homes that are not only good for people and good for the planet, but equally important, enable significantly lower energy bills.

The average monthly energy bills in a traditional electric only home are £192, in a traditional gas and electric only are £160 but the average in a Greencore home is £66.
