They all use solar energy, and as they are highly insulated to prevent energy loss, they have heat recovery systems installed to supply fresh filtered air.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Cllr Shayne Cook, Caerphilly Council\u2019s Cabinet Member for Housing, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with our partners to deliver high quality, affordable housing is a key priority for the Council.\u00a0 This exciting development not only helps meet local need, but also addresses the issue of fuel poverty and links to the Council\u2019s commitment to lower carbon emissions in the county borough.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>New resident Joanna moved into her new home in April.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cWe were so happy when we found out we would be moving here.
