BRE Innovation Park @ Ravenscraig

Building Research Establishment are to establish a Scottish innovation park on the Ravenscraig site which will be used as a housing demonstration project incorporating new technology in energy performance and sustainability. BRE Scotland will create up to six full-scale demonstrator houses on the Innovation Park which will seek to point the way towards how houses of the future will tackle issues such as affordability, energy efficiency, recycled materials, carbon emissions and sustainable methods of construction. This will build on the lessons learned by BRE’s first demonstrator centre at Garston near Watford, which pioneered the use of groundbreaking technologies such as wind turbines, rainwater harvesting, heat recovery systems and recycled waste timber within individual homes.
