A Sustainable Community
Metropolitan are at the forefront of providing sustainable solutions to developments large and small all over the UK. We understand that the UK's regulations to reduce carbon emissions affect new developments more than any other sector of the economy. In order to comply with this new legislation, your next development will require a bespoke design that fulfils the planning requirements whilst remaining economically viable. We employ a range of proven and developing technologies that are engineered to address the large-scale energy production market and micro generation for individual homes:
Low carbon energy - We will design an optimised community heating system so your next development will meet heat and cooling requirements and section 106 carbon reduction targets.
Biofuels - Our model 'future proofs' the development by using a CHP engine to distribute heat and then trade the generated electricity. This allows us to alter the energy centre at any time and take full advantage of biofuels.
Reduced water use - We own the potable water and wastewater assets, which leaves us free to work with you to deliver a range of products, including grey water harvesting and bore hole extraction, where we can deliver even greater asset investment for you.
Next-generation broadband - Our 'fibre-to-the-home' open access system provides unlimited bandwidth and speed. Fibre makes working from home possible, which means significant reductions to the carbon footprint of households on your site. It also provides a way to communicate with homeowners, as well as a means to connect all streetside equipment. Consider the possibilities:
- Real time public transport information to all properties
- CCTV and security hubs
- Real time information on carbon savings and energy bills
