Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Tai Tarian and the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment (CLCBE) Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University (WSA), are hosting an 'Open House Retrofit' located in Margam which has been funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The #HomesAsPowerStations (HAPS) 'Open House retrofit' is a 1930’s three-bedroom semi-detached home and has been retrofitted using a whole house energy systems approach combining renewable energy supply, storage and demand reduction solutions. The house has benefitted with increased insulation, repairs that reduce air leakage, an air-source heat pump, solar PV panels and battery storage. These measures will provide future residents with a low carbon home that has lower energy bills and improved comfort. The house will be open on select days throughout February and March 2025 where researchers from the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment at the Welsh School of Architecture will show you around the house and talk about their experiences from over the past 15 years of taking the whole house energy system approach forward, creating practical and impactful solutions with, and for, a wide range of stakeholders to inspire change at all scales. https://lnkd.in/e6g7dNah Please let us know if you and any colleagues are interested in visiting and we will share dates of when the Open House days are taking place so that you can book a place. Places are limited so please respond asap to Esther Tallent TallentE@cardiff.ac.uk Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University Emmanouil Perisoglou Juan Pablo Fernández Goycoolea Oonagh Gavigan-Robbins Tai Tarian Alec Thomas #Homesaspowerstations Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council #transforminghomes
