Our Homes and Technologies
How we are making Cala homes and developments more sustainable
Just like our customers and prospective customers, we are making a conscious effort to take steps towards sustainability as we can, to make a difference.
Designed with respect for people and the planet
Cala is committed to helping our customers live in a way that respects the needs of our planet.
As part of our strategy, not only must we strive to build homes that are more sustainable, but we must also give our customers the tools and technology they need to operate their homes with zero emissions and live more sustainably. Examples of this are ensuring measures like air source heat pumps are as user-friendly as possible, installing smart heating controls and providing EV charging capabilities.
Not content with waiting for government target dates, we have acted early and already meet RIBA 2030 Best Practice, a framework that improves energy efficiency, the carbon emissions used in construction and reduces water usage.
Going beyond carbon, our Urban Wildlife Strategy and Biodiversity policy have been prepared in collaboration with experts to ensure that habitats are provided for native insects, mammals, plants and trees.
We're proud of what we have achieved, but continue to innovate and trial new technologies and strategies to ensure continual improvement.
What does this mean for our customers?
Our interactive home helps you understand some of the technology we are exploring and what a Cala home could look like in the future. Whilst these technologies are undoubtedly better for the planet, they could also help our customers to save money on their bills in the long run too.

Sustainable Technologies
We're exploring new and pioneering technologies such as solar PV with battery storage and air source heat pumps to make an active contribution to the fight against climate change. We're also looking at the fabric of the homes we build and how we can enhance the biodiversity around them.
Some of these solutions are already available on a selection of our homes, but these are plot and development specific. Speak to your Sales Consultant to find out more.

How Cala Homes and Developments are more sustainable
Development design that works with nature
While construction work is disruptive to the local environment, we take care to minimise this disruption and to support the local wildlife with enhanced habitats.
