Manchester Green Energy Summit 2019, Energy House Laboratory

Upcoming

NOVEMBER 2021: In early 2022, four major UK house builders, one of whom is Bellway Homes, will be constructing houses in the completed Energy House 2.0 for testing. In the lead up to this, these large companies would like to engage with local Greater Manchester companies who may like their energy saving product or service integrated into their houses and tested within Energy House 2.0.

Do you want to get involved and pitch to these companies? If so, email energyhouse2@salford.ac.uk with your full contact details and a very brief outline of the product or service. The event will take place on 12 November and an outline of the day is available below:
