Homes of our Times (Year 2 Report)
The research comprises a three-year longitudinal study on the environmental impacts of how 25 households, drawn from different home types, use their homes. Both qualitative and quantitative data are being collected. Part of the research is focusing on following the home, not the resident. It is important, for example, to understand the experience of a resident moving into a ‘greener’ home as the second or third tenant (rather than the first when all the support for the new technologies is still at hand). Three annual fieldwork questionnaires are being carried out per property. The research seeks to determine what the experience and learning is from those living in the home, as well as those with responsibility for managing and maintaining the home.>

They put into perspective urban regeneration developments, looking especially at those common trends that are increasingly affecting Europe, such as climate change and challenges of energy efficiency, economic crisis and its impact on the construction sector and, more specifically, on housing affordability
