Sustainability at The Lower Acre

From thoughtful design to innovative energy solutions, we’re creating spaces that respect the planet while enhancing everyday living. One of the most impactful steps we’ve taken is the installation of Ground Source Heat Pumps. This technology harnesses the earth’s natural energy to provide efficient heating and cooling in every home at The Lower Acre.

What is a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP)?

Think of it as nature’s own heating system. A GSHP draws low-temperature solar energy stored in the ground through buried pipes and compresses it into a higher temperature. The result? Reliable heating and hot water all year round – powered by the earth beneath your feet.

How efficient and sustainable are GSHPs?

Ground Source Heat Pumps don’t just help to reduce your carbon footprint, they could also save you money. By tapping into free energy stored in the ground, they make heating costs predictable and stable, delivering up to 4 kilowatts of heat for every 1 kilowatt of electricity used. That’s an impressive 400% efficiency compared to traditional systems. And because GSHPs use renewable ground energy and produce zero on-site emissions, they’re a powerful step toward reducing carbon footprints and supporting the UK’s net-zero goals.

What Makes GSHPs Stand Out?

Ground Source Heat Pumps aren’t just efficient, they’re adaptable and future-ready. Unlike traditional systems, GSHPs deliver heating and cooling in one compact, quiet design built to last decades. They also integrate seamlessly with smart controls and dynamic energy tariffs, meaning they can operate when electricity is cheapest and cleanest. This flexibility ensures you reduce your environmental impact without compromising comfort.
