Selected developers who constructed Buildings for 2050 housing schemes and participated in this research project.
|
THE STUDY DEVELOPMENTS
The developers had different funding models and a range of drivers for the schemes they developed. They also adopted different approaches to low carbon design. These factors, combined with the variation in tenure, provided a good range of data for the research.
