UK to Test Low-Carbon Technologies in Social Housing Units
The launch of a £17m government initiative to trial different low-carbon housing technologies will boost the mammoth task of making Britain’s homes greener. 87 social housing units will be retrofitted with different packages to make the homes more energy efficient. This will trial low-carbon housing projects which will be monitored for two years by the Energy Saving Trust which will collect data on internal and external temperatures, humidity and CO 2 emissions.
