GREEN ENERGY INSTALLER WINS SOCIAL HOUSING CONTRACTS
07 December 2009

A Surrey-based green energy installer has won three high profile contracts in the social housing sector. Horley-based renewable energy product installer Isoenergy has won a £1.2m contract with housing developer Bellway Homes, another five-figure contract with Osborne Homes, and a third contract with Monaghan Developments in Crawley. The Bellway Homes contract will see Isoenergy install green energy equipment in more than 300 new build apartments and homes in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Bermondsey for housing association Family Mosaic. Meanwhile the Osborne Homes deal will see it install green products in seven new build properties in Charlton again for Family Mosaic. The third contract with Monaghan Developments sees Isoenergy installing green energy heating systems in 20 new flats in East Grinstead for the Affinity Sutton housing association. Isoenergy managing director, Justin Broadbent said the firm is determined to grow its market share in the social housing sector. He said: “We are one of the oldest green energy installers in Britain and have a depth of knowledge and experience to draw on. This level of expertise is critical for the social housing industry as it is under such massive pressure to go green and do it to the highest standard. “On all three of these deals we are taking the green energy headache out of the job for the developer and the housing association. We are advising at the design stage on how to make the project as green friendly as possible. We are then commissioning the equipment, installing it and managing the entire project.” Mr Broadbent added that Isoenergy is providing specialist knowledge to the developers to help them meet levels 3, 4 and 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. He said: “Heating is the sleeping giant of the green energy revolution. Heat accounts for half UK energy use and half UK carbon emissions. So we simply have to encourage greater use of renewable equipment such as heat pumps. “Housing associations are leading the way showing property owners how you can go green and save money on heating bills.” Further Links
