Minister visits Energy House

The University of Salford's Energy House has welcomed a visit from communities minister Andrew Stunell. The minister toured the project to see how the government's Green Deal to make existing homes more energy efficient could work in reality. The life-sized terraced property has been built within a sealed chamber for testing ways to reduce domestic energy consumption.

Stunell said: "This fantastic facility shows us that greening our homes isn't just an elite pastime, it's something everyone can do. With the countdown to the Green Deal underway, the Energy House will be a vital tool for understanding how measures to improve energy-efficiency measures work in practice. I have argued for many years that we must close the gap between the predicted improvements of retrofitting and actual energy performance, so I'm delighted the Energy House will help us achieve this."
