About the energy-saving house
The world population could reach nine billion by 2050, so we need homes that are sustainable and energy efficient. The learning journeys in this context focus on The Glasgow House project – designing, building and experimenting with prototypes for social housing with the aim of creating desirable housing which will also combat fuel poverty.
