British Gypsum and Isover highlight innovations in latest Building Better episode

British Gypsum and Isover have launched episode six of their Building Better video series – taking viewers on a tour of the cutting-edge Energy House 2.0 facility, where academics are closing the gap between the design and performance of new build properties.

The largest test and research facility of its kind, led by the University of Salford, Energy House 2.0 is the world’s first fully climate-controllable new build home. British Gypsum and Isover supported the exciting project to construct the three-bed detached new build home, designed to meet future performance and regulation requirements.

Prof Richard Fitton, professor of energy performance of buildings for the University of Salford, takes listeners behind the doors of this high-tech facility where real houses are tested under simulated extreme weather conditions to evaluate energy performance, running costs and resilience.

Hosted by renowned architectural designer and television personality Charlie Luxton, Building Better delivers inspirational and thought-provoking content through weekly episodes, available on YouTube and via the Building Better Hub.
