Twin Valley Homes

Housing association specification winner


Twin Valley Homes is a ‘not-for-profit’ housing association which strives to provide affordable housing and associated care and support services to customers throughout East Lancashire. As part of the 2008 National Affordable Homes programme, Twin Valley Homes went ahead with the installation of Worcester’s Greenskies in roof solar panels and a high-efficiency Greenstar gas-fired boiler at each property across a 31 home development. Twin Valley acquired funding from the HCA (Homes and Communities Agency) to help deliver this scheme on the provision that they built all of the homes to meet level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which requires every property to be at least 25% more energy efficient than the current Building Regulations specify.
