And the Housing Innovation Best Sustainability Innovation Award goes to…

Baxi and Travis Perkins have won the award for Best Sustainability Innovation Award at the Housing Innovation Awards 2026 for the WholeHouse® range of renewable heating solutions.

 

WholeHouse® is an industry-first digital platform that empowers housing providers to plan, design and construct compliant, more sustainable homes with exceptional ease and speed.

Our renewable energy heating systems - Baxi Air Source Heat Pumps working in conjunction with our understairs prefabricated utility cupboards containing both heating and electrical consumer units - fit directly into the WholeHouse® model and work harmoniously within the home.

 

Working in close collaboration with the Travis Perkins WholeHouse® team, we have designed a solution focused on ensuring that innovative design principles and renewable energy systems work as one to optimise efficient heating performance and minimise environmental impact. 
 

Here are just some of the benefits:

Improved efficiency

Our understairs PUC unit uses innovative Modern Methods of Construction techniques to optimise the home’s energy system while reducing the overall space and materials required. 

    Sustainability and increased productivity

    Our PUC unit ensures faster and easier installation which helps support accelerated development of sustainable housing while addressing the skills shortage within the heating industry. 

      Standardisation

      The faster build and cost certainty enables developers to build faster and more cost effectively.
