Key learnings


  • This is building upon the early lessons learnt by Vistry at Europa Way in Leamington Spa. The project is in the early stages with first handovers due Q3 2023.
  • Challenges exist around getting the required amount of PV onto rooves of room-in-roof house types.

Performance evaluation


Post-occupancy evaluation will be done 9-12 months after tenants have moved in.


As more information becomes available this case study will be revised.
