A large-scale development consisting of 213 houses and flats in Aldershot, Hampshire required to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. Phases 3, 4, and 6a of the North Town Scheme presented a serious challenge to all involved, to create a sustainable yet cost effective development whilst meeting all Planning Policy Requirements.

SRE, with assistance from the development and design teams, undertook detailed energy modelling on all units within the scheme to ensure CSH Level 4 compliance as well as ensuring 10% of the total CO2 from the site is offset through Low Carbon sources.

"We have worked with SRE on numerous projects over the past seven years and have found their knowledge and expertise to be both broad and useful. SRE’s early input has assisted in developing solutions to the problems faced in environmental assessments and compliance. We have found the personnel at SRE to be very approachable and helpful offering advice and assistance where required, and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services."
