Our work for East Riding Council to transform the energy efficiency of 130 homes has earned us a prestigious Constructing Excellence award.
We were named winners of the Sustainability category at the Constructing Excellence in Yorkshire and Humber Awards at a glittering awards night, held at New Dock Hall at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, on Thursday, July 11th.
East Riding Council and Hobson & Porter’s holistic approach to the thermal upgrading works on the Easton Road Estate in Bridlington turned these homes from having zero insulation, to becoming properties which exceed today’s new-build standards.
The project team helped the homes become more efficient at every turn by addressing the building fabric, whilst also addressing the mechanical and electrical systems of the homes.
This has included:
Mark Smee, director for Hobson & Porter, said: “These properties were tired, inefficient and in need of frequent service and repair, generating greenhouse gases and waste with every visit.
“The thermal performance of these homes is exceptional and has surpassed all expectations, a monumental feat considering some would argue these homes were destined for demolition.
“The local authority and thus the tax payer saved millions of pounds compared to rebuilding the homes, whilst the established community remained intact and were given a substantially-improved quality of life after the works.
“It’s a scheme we’re particularly proud of, so we’re delighted the work has been recognised at the Constructing Excellence Awards. Congratulations to the project team and everyone involved at the scheme, this award is recognition of all your efforts.”
Constructing Excellence in Yorkshire and Humber (CEYH) is the regional partner to Constructing Excellence, the single organisation charged with driving the change agenda in construction, housing and regeneration.
It is run by the School of Built Environment and Engineering at Leeds Beckett University.
