Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The UK Government is committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 20% by the year 2010. However, it is estimated that five million new houses will be constructed between now and 2016 and the additional demand for energy used in these buildings is expected to give rise to a significant increase in CO2 emissions. This proposal seeks JREI funding to equip an Eco-energy House designed for the following activities:i) Conducting high quality research into sustainable energy systems and their integration into the building. This would allow the performance of the systems/house to be evaluated under real occupancy and climatic conditions.ii) Encourage multi-disciplinary research collaboration between the School and other academic and industrial organisations with the aim of maximising the use of sustainable energy buildings.iii) Promote technology transfer between universities and industry. The Eco-House will offer a means for testing new technologies and demonstrate these to industry with the aim of encouraging industrial exploitation.iv) Use the Eco-House for education and training of research staff and students.v) Promote the use of sustainable energy systems to public and local authorities to encourage their wide use in the UK.
