It aims to understand the attitudes towards and challenges of this type of home, the costs and cost drivers associated with their construction, and their energy performance once occupied. It does this through a combination of physical monitoring and social research at four case study housing developments. Its outputs will include evidence to support low-carbon building construction policy, and an understanding of the 'art of the possible' to inform future emissions reductions plans.
