Competition - Buildings, better connected
In 2013 Innovate UK invested up to £500k in feasibility studies to develop new knowledge and skills in integrating future infrastructure needs into the heart of buildings and communities.
From small clusters of buildings to major urban expansions, there is a drive towards providing de-centralised infrastructure. The drive towards zero-carbon buildings and communities, the need to integrate electric vehicles, and the opportunities for heat and power sharing and storage are providing opportunities for delivering a user-focused, de-centralised infrastructure fit for the future.
Proposals are sought in the area of de-centralised, inter-connected, heat, coolth and power systems at a building and community scale.
The Feasibility Studies are detailed below and results can be found in the Resources folder above.
