Energy House Labs at the University of Salford is pleased to announce the publication of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential (DEEP) Project reports. Fronted by Research Fellow, Dave Farmer, the DEEP project represents the most in-depth case study to date on the impact of fabric retrofit […]
We are proud to highlight the latest achievements of our own Grant Henshaw, who has made significant contributions to both academic research and industry discussions on sustainability. As lead author, Grant recently published a journal paper in Energy and Buildings titled “Experimental and Computational Assessment of an Energy-Saving Innovation in a Customised Testing Cabin.” The paper, co-authored with ManchesterCFD and Thermocill™ Limited, explores a cutting-edge energy-saving innovation tested in […]
Energy House Labs in collaboration with National Energy Action (NEA), has released new findings on the additional cost of keeping homes at a safe and comfortable temperature during winter. Through joint research conducted in our full-sized test house in Energy House 1, it was found that heating a home to 18°C—considered a safe and comfortable […]
Doctoral Materials Science researchers from across the UK participated in the annual Henry Royce Research Grand Challenge. This year’s theme, “Materials Components for Sustainable Housing,” was presented by senior executives from Saint-Gobain at the start of the two-day event. The event followed the “research sandpit” format, encouraging idea generation, team formation, and proposal development through brainstorming sessions, […]
Energy House Labs Leads Groundbreaking Research into Future Home Heating Systems At Energy House Labs, we’ve just completed the UK’s largest-ever study into heating systems, offering crucial insights into the future of home heating. Conducted at our state-of-the-art Energy House 2.0 facility, this research tested 14 different heating technologies to determine the most efficient, cost-effective […]
As part of the ERDF- supported Energy House 2.0 project, the Homely system was tested in the Smart Meters > Smart Homes Laboratory at the University of Salford which has a choice of heating systems available, including an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP). A test compared two 24-hour periods with and without the Homely control […]
