Nottingham will showcase five houses to be built to a varying degree of energy efficiency, this will also test different levels of construction. Part of a research dissemination project it has explored a German efficiency standard.
Carbon emmissions are also being measured during the build and a target has been set. The cost of the house has also been explored in order to make the process affordable. The house is compact and incorporates concrete, insulated panels and other environmentally friendly and sustainable elements. This project sets a standard for more research to come
