The new Future Homes Standard ensures that by law all new homes built from 2025 onwards produce 75-80% less carbon emissions than those under the current standards, with the aim of providing homes with low-carbon heating and world-leading levels of energy efficiency.   We are ahead of the curve and are delivering Future Home Standard homes now.   Using a fabric-first approach and our 15 years’ experience in the offsite construction industry, we have worked to create the Eco-150 and Eco-200 system to help achieve the government’s low carbon goals. Our products are already achieving the Future Homes Standard in terms of both U values and thermal efficiency.   Find out more here: https://bit.ly/3BKTOHO

Like most buildings in New York City, 345 Hudson Street previously used separate systems for heating and cooling. Now, through a vertical network of Energy Machines™ heat pumps, heating and cooling are integrated into a single system. Waste heat, which is typically expelled outside, is instead recovered and redistributed throughout the building, drastically reducing the need for additional energy to generate heat. ⚡️ The Energy Machines™ integrated system at 345 Hudson operates with staggering efficiencies exceeding COP 9 and cuts the building’s annual CO2 emissions by more than 70%. These significant emissions reductions will exempt the 17-story property from the city's upcoming CO2 taxes, allowing the building owner, Hudson Square Properties (HSP) to avoid more than $200,000 in CO2 fines annually. HSP is a joint venture of Hines, Trinity Church Wall Street, and Norges Bank Investment Management. 🍃 Learn more about 345 Hudson, New York's model decarbonization retrofit project, via the new Canary Media article linked in the comments. #integratedenergysystem #wasteheatrecovery #thisisanenergymachine
