Greenhaus

Greenhaus is a nine-storey development in the heart of the city of 96 one and two-bedroom affordable homes, with retail space at ground floor. Part of the Salford regeneration masterplan, Greenhaus is the first project of its kind in the northwest of England and the biggest Passivhaus social housing scheme in the region. 

The homes at Greenhaus benefit from triple-glazed windows, excellent levels of airtightness, and carefully installed insulation, using minimal energy for heating and cooling. As an all-electric project, it supports the transition to low-carbon energy sources, incorporating energy generation from solar PV, with domestic hot water produced by air source heat pumps.

Located opposite Salford Cathedral, the project will also include new public electric vehicle parking spaces, and a public square.

Properties that are built to Passivhaus standards enjoy reduced heating energy consumption of around 90% compared to traditional housing stock, and 70% compared to typical new builds, helping residents to reduce their fuel bills and cut their carbon footprints.
