Features of BedZED
The Buildings
The buildings are built using materials that store heat during warm conditions and release the heat at cooler times. Triple glazed windows.
All buildings have a 300mm insulation jacket around them. Houses are arranged in south facing terraces to maximise
heat gain from the sun, known as passive solar gain. Each terrace is backed onto by a north facing office, where
minimal solar gain reduces the tendency to overheat and the need for energy hungry air conditioning.

Other Features of BedZED
Where possible buildings are made from natural, recycled or reclaimed materials.
All wood used has been approved by the Forest Stewardship Council.
Homes are fitted with low energy lighting, and energy efficient appliances
Meters are mounted in each home to enable residents to keep track of their heat and electricity use.
There is a combined heat and power plant, the heat produced by the power plant is used to heat water which is distributes around the site as a form of heating.

Some power is generated by burning off-cuts from tree surgery waste that would otherwise go to landfill. Wood - carbon neutral fuel because the CO2 released when wood is burnt equals that absorbed by the tree when it grows.
Green Transport Plan which promotes walking, cycling and use of public transport.
Car pool for residents to use – these are electrical cars. There is onsite charging facilities for these cars.
Pedestrian First Policy – good lighting, drop kerbs for prams and wheelchairs and a road layout that keeps cars to a walking speed.
Building materials come from nearby – 35 mile radius.
