→ Air source heat pumps for space heating and domestic hot water

→ New street trees, play areas for greenery and biodiversity

→ 113% cumulative regulated CO2 emissions reduction over baseline

Little Strand is part of Barnet Homes’ affordable housing programme, infilling garage court sites within a cul-de-sac surrounded by existing homes. The strategy for reducing energy use and carbon emissions follows the London Plan Energy Hierarchy. The improvement in energy performance is achieved through high fabric efficiency, good air-tightness levels, efficient building services, and air-source heat pumps.
