Leeds City Council has successfully procured 16 new energy-efficient council houses using NEC. Design and construction was let to Willmott Dixon under a £3.8 million NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option A (priced contract with activity schedule) in March 2022. NPS Leeds, which won the NEC 2024 Business of the Year Award, was appointed NEC project manager and supervisor. Each semi-detached timber-frame home has its own ground-source heat pump and photovoltaic panels, such that carbon dioxide emissions are over 60% below the building regulations target. The scheme was shortlisted for the NEC 2024 Demonstrating Carbon Dioxide Reduction Initiatives Towards Net Zero Award. Tom Wilson of NPS Leeds says a key part of the NEC-inspired collaboration was delivering the council’s sustainability and social value targets. #socialhousing #sustainability #socialvalue
