The ‘House for the Future’ was built by Redrow at the Museum of Welsh Life, St. Fagans, Cardiff. The ‘brains’ of the house is a fascinating piece of technology with a number of key features, including the ability to detect a change in temperature and make adjustments accordingly to the heating systems in the house.
This environmentally friendly home has a dedicated recycling area adjacent to the kitchen, is well insulated and has energy efficient appliances, many boasting intelligent control mechanisms and operating systems to minimise water and electricity use.
This unique home, designed by architects Jestico & Whiles, offers a glimpse of what home life could be like in the future incorporating innovative ideas on sustainability.
A further joint project, this time involving the School of the Built Environment at Nottingham University, will see the construction of a 'test house' enabling long term testing and developemtn of building components and systems which will provide benefits for our customers and the environment. Some of the potential inclusions in the project are: thermal and acoustic insulation methods, hydrogen fuel cell energy, combined heat and power units and wireless technology."
