We’re leading the way in sustainable house building, going out of our way to make our homes as efficient as possible. The buildings simultaneously conserve and produce their own energy, helping you save both money and the environment, all at once.
Sustainability
Solar Energy
Our homes create their own clean energy from the sun via an integrated solar roofing system.
From your heating to your lighting, your washing machine to your TV, it’s all assisted with power from your roof. If you’re savvy enough to use an electric car, you can also charge that via an electric vehicle charging point connected to your Verto home.
The best bit is that any electricity you generate, you get paid by the government. So, your home is earning you money from renewable energy creation.
Clean energy
Convert direct sunlight into electricity for C02-free, infinitely renewable energy.
Save and earn
Solar energy is not just free – it actually pays. Take advantage of incentives and earn money from the sun itself.
Ground Source & Air Source Heat Pumps
Ground Source & Air Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) quietly absorb ambient heat from the ground and move it inside. GSHPs are far more efficient than conventional gas boilers and do not consume any fossil fuels, benefitting the environment.
Baby it’s cold outside
Wake up to a warm home: let Vesta take care of your daily heating routines.
Diverse spaces
Set different temperatures in each room at various times.
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
A Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit is cleverly integrated with the GSHP for an ample supply of preheated, fresh air.
Keep saving
Using less energy means a saving not only to the environment, but to your pocket too.
Get fresh
Keep air circulating whilst you heat your home: the MVHR unit takes warmth from air being expelled and combines it with fresh air being brought in from outside.
Electric Vehicle Charging Point
Say goodbye to fossil fuels: we wire for electric vehicle charging points in your designated parking space.
Clean wheels
Generate no C02 for a clean conscience, no matter how far you travel.
Economy
Electric vehicles incur no road tax, fuel bills or congestion charges.
Super-Insulated Zero Heat Loss
With triple glazed windows and super-insulated walls and floors, there will be almost zero heat loss and noise pollution.
Warm and quiet
Our windows are triple glazed to keep the heat in and the cold air (and noise pollution) out.
Stay grounded
Our floor materials retain heat 10 times as long as normal flooring.
Ecotricity
While our homes produce their own energy, we’re prepared for any extra electricity requirements: we’ve joined with a renewables-only provider, Ecotricity, to supply additional energy to all of our Zero Carbon Smart Homes.
Zero carbon
Energy is responsible for 30% of carbon emissions in Britain: Ecotricity was the first company in the world to offer electricity made from renewables.
Bills into mills
Ecotricity puts all of its profits into its Green Energy mission, turning energy bills from its customers into windmills to create more clean energy.
