A spotlight on: low carbon building technologies
Liverpool John Moores University's Exemplar Houses
Our North Hub, Liverpool John Moores University, has three full-scale houses on its campus designed to standards from the 1920s, 1970s and present day. Businesses can work with LJMU to test and develop new green technologies and building methods in the houses.
In partnership with BRE (a world-leading building science centre), LJMU construction and technology experts are able to test a variety of green technologies that provide solutions to the challenge of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Research carried out on the site will inform the construction and energy sector and government on options for tackling the UK’s refurbishment challenge on existing dwellings, 90% of which will still be here by 2050.
