Carbon targets
Keepmoat was among the very first homebuilders to set long-term and net zero targets via the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) alongside short term science-based targets. All targets are set on a financial year FY22 baseline.

Low carbon developments
In Partnership with North Somerset Council, we are creating a new community with 425 homes. Six-four are being built to low carbon standards, adding to our experience as the Future Homes Standard of 2025 approaches. Electric charging points for cars are provided throughout.
Part of our wider Gedling development totalling close to 1,000 homes, we are building 33 homes to the upcoming Future Homes Standard, in advance of the Standard’s arrival. Birmingham City University are conducting a post-occupancy study on the homes to assess the user experience.
We worked closely with specialist supplier Wondrwall to incorporate an innovative home energy solution on 5 homes on this development. A post-occupancy study was conducted by Salford University. Wondrwall uses data to ‘time shift’ consumption to maximise the use of renewable energy and reduce annual energy costs to the homeowner.
