Building homes that meet ever-higher performance standards can feel increasingly challenging as regulations evolve and costs continue to rise. However, innovative approaches to development and delivery are creating new opportunities to achieve outstanding outcomes without adding significantly to project budgets.

At Lower Farm Mews, a nine-home conversion in Norfolk, Zero In Developments delivered EPC A ratings across every plot while maintaining its build budget. The project, which was shortlisted for Best Sustainability Initiative at the Housebuilder Awards 2026, followed a carefully considered approach:

• Retaining and repurposing existing buildings rather than demolishing them
• Improving fabric performance first
• Selecting building services to suit the fabric-first design
• Adding renewable generation and battery storage only after these measures were in place

By partnering with Gryd Energy, the development was able to overcome the upfront cost barriers often associated with low-carbon technologies, demonstrating how innovative delivery and ownership models can support the delivery of high-performing homes without increasing build costs.

Delivering high-performing homes requires more than simply adding new technologies. It depends on taking a coordinated approach to design, specification and delivery, while exploring innovative commercial models that can help unlock better outcomes for both developers and customers.

Join Zero In Developments and Gryd Energy as they share the story behind Lower Farm Mews and explain how the lessons learned can be applied to other projects.

Whether you're delivering retrofit schemes, conversions or new-build developments, this webinar will explore practical strategies for improving performance, managing costs and making low-carbon homes more achievable at scale.
