Sustainability at Space Homes

At Space Homes, sustainability isn’t an add‑on; it’s built into every home we design and every community we create.

Sustainability sits at the heart of everything we do.
We’re committed to achieving net zero by 2050 across the new homes we build.
Every Space Home is designed with energy efficiency in mind.

Building a greener future


At Space Homes, we’re committed to delivering homes that play an active role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting a more sustainable way of living.

Our approach to sustainability focuses on:

  • Designing out fossil fuels
  • Reducing energy demand through smarter building fabric
  • Integrating renewable technologies as standard

These principles guide every new development we bring forward, helping ensure our homes are built not just for today, but for the decades ahead.

Gas‑free homes, designed for modern living

All new Space Homes developments are designed to be off‑gas, meaning they do not rely on traditional gas boilers for heating or hot water.

Heating is one of the biggest contributors to household carbon emissions. By removing gas entirely and replacing it with low‑carbon systems, our homes:

  • Produce significantly fewer carbon emissions
  • Avoid on‑site fossil fuel burning
  • Offer a safer, cleaner home environment
  • Reduce exposure to volatile global energy prices

Gas‑free homes also help homeowners feel more in control of their energy use — particularly during colder months when heating costs can rise sharply.

Removing gas is just the first step. The systems we replace them with are designed to deliver everyday comfort efficiently and reliably.

Low‑carbon heating that works every day

Our homes use modern, low‑carbon heating systems that are designed to deliver comfort efficiently and reliably throughout the year.

Depending on the development, this includes:

  • Air source heat pumps, which extract renewable energy from the air outside to heat homes efficiently
  • Underfloor heating on the ground floor for consistent, even warmth
  • Radiators upstairs for responsive, controllable heating

Air source heat pumps are highly efficient, capable of producing substantially more heat energy than the electricity they use — all without burning fuel on site.

At Space Homes, we’re building more than new houses, we’re creating sustainable, future‑proof homes that support people, communities and the planet. 

Part of the bigger picture


Space Homes is the home‑building and sales sector of Yorkshire Housing, a charitable housing association based in Leeds and providing homes across Yorkshire. As part of Yorkshire Housing’s commitment to creating sustainable, high‑quality places to live, Space Homes delivers modern, energy‑efficient new homes that support the organisation’s wider social purpose.

All profits generated through Space Homes’ property sales are reinvested directly back into Yorkshire Housing, helping to fund the delivery of more social and affordable homes throughout the region.

This means that when someone buys a Space Homes property, they’re not only choosing a thoughtfully designed, sustainable home, they’re also contributing to the continued development of much‑needed housing for communities across Yorkshire.

Choosing a Space Home means choosing a property that is future‑ready, better for the planet and more affordable to run. 

Designed to lower energy use, reduce running costs and support low‑carbon living, our homes are built with features that make a real difference.
