Zedfactory - ZedSquared

ZEDsquared is the first international example of a replicable zero carbon / zero waste urban block. Embracing the placemaking agenda whilst achieving a plot ratio of 1.5 but still including parks, full size football pitch, schools, markets and workspace.

The idea is to show how a typical city block can generate its own energy needs at the same time as achieving reasonable
density and achieving a higher quality of both private and public amenity than a conventional development approach.
An innovative funding strategy using the ZEDfactory energy mortgage concept enables residents to meet the capital
cost of durable solar microgeneration and heating and cooling systems, using the household cash previously spent on escalating fuel bills to service a 25 year loan.
