The government last week announced a new £17 million initiative to tackle the issue of trying to make homes in Britain ‘greener’. A series social housing units across the country will be fitted with a variety of energy saving technologies and data of their results made available to various groups.
Both the good and bad points will be made available to researchers, architects, builders and the like in order to evaluate whether or not to continue these projects into new builds and other social housing projects.
“If you’ve got 10,000 properties to upgrade in 20 years, what do you do? If you can look at 100 attempts in the database, you can choose,” said Miller. “We’re creating a library of solutions that people can use and adapt for their needs.”
