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.

Transforming Homes@transforming-homes.bsky.social · 2y ago

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 Welsh School of Architecture #designresearch team has been leading Spring #design #workshops for Transforming Homes. These sessions aim to translate the collective knowledge developed into a catalogue of design solutions to transform 1920s–40s council-built #homes into better places to live.
