Great to visit a home retrofitted as part of the #HAPS initiative. We did not only get to learn about the great work being delivered by the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment, Cardiff University, but got inspired as we move forward in the delivery of our #TransformingHomes demo homes.
Our team visited the Margam Open House Retrofit, part of the #HousesasPowerStations (HAPS) funded by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. Two adjacent #homes showcase real whole house #retrofit of social #housing. Pre/post-retrofit monitoring supports data-driven decisions to improve wellbeing.

The visit gave us useful insights into the challenges of planning, design, and delivery—especially where deep retrofit experience is limited. It also provided us with inspiration for the 10 #TransformingHomes demon homes, and the opportunity to showcase real-world application of our #research.
