Investor and analyst visit to Taylor Wimpey's zero carbon ready homes trial
Taylor Wimpey will be hosting a visit for institutional investors and analysts to view our recently launched flagship zero carbon ready homes trial at our Chilton Woods development in Sudbury, Suffolk.
This is the industry's first research concept testing low carbon technologies through multi-specification prototype homes on a live development site. The prototype homes will help identify new ways to increase the energy efficiency of our homes as well as identify the challenges that will need to be overcome to do so at scale.
The innovative trial seeks to demonstrate how the industry can deliver homes compliant with the incoming Future Home Standard (FHS) through varying combinations of technologies and enhanced building fabric. As part of the trial, Taylor Wimpey is challenging itself as well as its supply chain partners, and working closely with engineers and energy experts to introduce the most cutting-edge products into the homes to meet the requirements of FHS. The homes have been expertly designed to ensure that the new technologies work seamlessly for customers' living requirements.
The launch is a major milestone following the recent publication of Taylor Wimpey's Net Zero Transition Plan, which will ensure Taylor Wimpey reaches net zero five years ahead of the government's target.
The visit will include a presentation in our information centre by Taylor Wimpey senior management, followed by a tour of the prototype homes.
No material financial or other material information will be shared during the visit.
