Our new homes meet many of today’s standards for carbon reduction and ecologically responsible living. Here are just some of the ways we’re making Scotia homes more energy efficient – and your energy bills lower:

• Building design – the position of the homes will help them benefit from heat and light from the sun – and the thermal qualities of the building materials will reduce heat loss through walls, the roof, floors and windows
• Local materials – wherever possible, we source building materials from local suppliers. This makes our homes sympathetic to their surroundings and may contribute to lowering our carbon footprint
• Condensing boilers – we’re installing energy efficient modern boilers for water and central heating systems. These are more economical and produce lower emissions
• Energy performance – when you buy a new Scotia home, we’ll provide an energy performance certificate. This tells you about the energy efficiency of the building, its likely carbon emissions and the likely costs of heating and lighting your new home
• Energy monitors – provide you with real-time information and help you keep an eye on the cost of running your home. They can also help you understand where you can make changes that will result in lower utility bills

We’ve tried hard to include what’s best about environmental construction – and built some stunning new homes that reflect the traditions of the area.
