Eco Living
Healthy Homes
Welcome to the future of healthy living, where innovation in design has transformed the concept of homes into sanctuaries of well-being. In recent years, there has been a remarkable shift towards creating healthy living environments by incorporating cutting-edge design principles.
What makes a Rosemoor home healthy?
Equipped with a range of healthy materials and being built to Passivhaus Principles, every Rosemoor home supports both the environment and its residents. The team at Belfield Developments have consciously reduced the use of plastic and chemical materials, sourcing alternative materials such as softwood skirting and architrave in place MDF.
Other healthy items that the Rosemoor houses have; Filtered air from MVHR. Wool carpets instead of synthetic. Solid wood kitchens instead of vinyl wrapped MDF cabinet doors. Natural engineered wood floors. Reduced Electric Magnetic Reduced Zones to reduce EMR from plug sockets and switched plus datapoints so you can hardwire to the internet instead of having wifi waves impacting your body. Natural stone and timber cladding on the external surface of the houses. Wall lights which emulate the level of the sun setting therefore keeping your circadian rhythm healthy.
This evolution is redefining the way we perceive and interact with our living spaces, and it promises a bright, healthy future for all who embrace it.
Airtight
Thanks to triple-glazed windows and doors and highly insulated timber frame construction, these homes on average are 10 times* more airtight than typical buildings.
Heat Recovery
Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery systems are in place to recover over 90% of the heat from the stale air leaving the house. Fresh, filtered air at all times. Cooler in the Summer. Warmer in the winter.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Hot water and heating are provided through air source heat pumps which are three times more efficient than a typical electric or gas boiler. They also cut carbon emissions by up to 75%**
Being built to Passivhaus principles dramatically increases the comfort and energy efficiency of every Rosemoor home.’
What makes a luxury home a luxury eco home?
The average person spends 90% of their time indoors*. Coupled with a growing awareness of our impact on the environment, creating houses that are both future-proofed and healthy to spend time in has never been more vital.
A fabric-first approach has been adopted for all the Rosemoor homes. These houses deliver on average, more than 10 times better airtightness performance than typical buildings**. This is thanks to high-performance triple-glazed windows and doors by Scandinavian company NorDan and the highly insulated timber frame construction.
Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery systems (MVHR) recover over 90% of the heat from the stale air leaving the house. This heat transfers to the fresh, filtered air coming in, significantly reducing energy costs in winter and being beneficial for allergy sufferers.
Air Source Heat Pumps provide hot water and heating from a renewable source; three times more efficient than a typical electric immersion or gas boiler. This cuts running costs by as much as 10-15% and carbon emissions by up to 75%**. Even greater efficiencies are created in combination with the underfloor heating enjoyed by every Rosemoor home.
There are reduced Electromagnetic Field (EMF) zones in every property. These zones aim to reduce the electromagnetic radiation that permeates modern life and are punctuated by hardwired data points that permit streaming. A kill switch allows you to temporarily turn off power to specific sockets, reducing electromagnetic frequencies in those areas.
The end result is properties that are highly insulated and airtight, retain heat, and that are incredibly cost-effective to run. They showcase a cohesive vision of what healthy living means for the people who live in them, the local area, and for the planet and the future too.

An investment for your future
Fresh, filtered air at all times. Cooler in summer. Warmer in winter. Good for allergy sufferers. Highly energy-efficient to run. These are just some of the benefits of the high insulation levels and airtightness of Rosemoor’s eco homes.
Features like large triple-glazed windows mean each house is warmed naturally by solar gain while experiencing good levels of daylight. This contributes to the well-being of those who live there and minimises energy bills.
These are healthy homes from the moment they are built. Natural materials like timber frames and stone prioritise the circular economy and are UK-sourced for a lower carbon footprint. Plastics and chemicals are avoided wherever possible. The energy used in their construction is mitigated by how much is saved running them.
As well as being beautifully designed spaces, the luxury eco homes of Rosemoor have been built to be healthy and sustainable houses. Each is truly an investment for the future.
