As the UK embarks on an accelerated pathway to reduce emissions across various sectors, including industry and transport, it's crucial to understand the role of technology and behavioural change in creating sustainable living environments. NeRV stands at the forefront of this mission, serving as the UK’s first combined research, development, and demonstration facility focused on gas, electricity, and water.
During our visit, you will have the opportunity to:
- Tour Futures Close, a unique street featuring nine homes representing five different construction eras, from the 1910s to the 1990s.
- Discover how each home is equipped with sensors that monitor vital metrics such as temperature, humidity, and energy consumption.
- Learn about the collaborative research and testing efforts taking place at NeRV to optimise low carbon, least cost decarbonisation solutions for UK households.
- Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of retrofitting homes to meet the Net Zero goal, supported by data-driven strategies.
This event is an excellent opportunity for professionals and volunteers interested in the future of sustainable housing and energy efficiency. Don’t miss the chance to engage with experts and see first-hand the innovative approaches being developed to tackle the challenges of decarbonisation.
