OUR MISSION STATEMENT
"We catalyse the delivery of high-performance energy efficient homes and places, which enable comfortable and healthy lives"
Homes that minimise operational energy and water demand, and perform in use as intended
Homes and places that maximise on-site renewable energy and utilise energy management/storage solutions to meet demand (using solutions such as smart grids)
Homes that minimise whole life carbon through their product selection, construction processes, in-use operation and disposal or reuse of building materials at end of life
Healthy, adaptive homes with excellent indoor air quality (ventilation, non-toxic materials), comfort (overheating/shading control) and sufficient space (space standards)
Attractive homes and places with robust materials and detailing for low and easy maintenance and which will stand the test of time
Homes and places that maximise biodiversity and ecological improvements
Homes and places that are resilient to a rapidly changing climate and extreme weather events including minimising overheating and flood risk
Homes that provide growing and leisure opportunities including occupants’ access to private amenity space and shared green/open space
GHA continues to initiate and participate in research and the collection of case studies to support knowledge dissemination and skills to enable this vision to be realised, and to advocate for our membership, higher standards in housing – in design and real-life performance – to realise the widest value for both investors and occupants.
