What happens when you leave the conference room behind and step directly into the beating heart of innovation? For the Healthy Homes Hub, it means swapping slideshows and speeches for hands-on, immersive learning experiences designed to reshape how we think about housing.
Welcome to the 2025 Study Tour Programme—an invitation to see innovation in action and bring those insights back to your own projects.
The Transformative Power of Immersive Learning
There’s something undeniably compelling about seeing concepts come to life. The Healthy Homes Hub understands that for many in the built environment sector, learning is most effective when it’s visual and hands-on. The Study Tours offer exactly that: a chance to step into real-world settings and witness cutting-edge housing solutions firsthand. This isn’t about endless PowerPoint slides; it’s about tangible experiences—touching, seeing, and asking questions as you go.
“Immersive learning creates clarity and confidence,” says Ele George, founder of Elevate, the organisation partnering with Healthy Homes Hub to deliver the study tour. By observing both successes and challenges in sustainable housing projects, participants gain invaluable insights into what works, what doesn’t, and why. These experiences make it easier to implement practical strategies back home—and to do so with conviction.
And the benefits don’t stop there. The tours are as much about people as they are about places. By connecting with peers during these explorations, attendees become part of a collaborative network of like-minded professionals. It’s this blend of learning and community-building that amplifies the value of each tour.
What to Expect: Behind the Scenes of the Study Tours
Each tour is meticulously planned to deliver exceptional value. Picture this: group transport whisks you between locations, where guided site visits reveal everything from innovative retrofit programmes to offsite manufacturing facilities. Expert-led sessions pepper the journey, offering presentations, Q&As, and interactive workshops with leading professionals.
And when it’s time to refuel, meals are included—providing not just nourishment but opportunities to network in a relaxed setting. Every participant receives detailed learning materials and case studies to reinforce what they’ve seen and heard. On-site coordinators are there to ensure everything runs like clockwork, leaving attendees free to focus on soaking up the experience.
Want to take a deeper dive? The Study Tours include visits to locations such as:
Retrofit Demonstration Homes: See how advanced insulation, ventilation, and data-driven monitoring systems are transforming housing efficiency.
Innovation Labs: Explore the latest smart home technologies and energy management solutions.
Sustainable Energy Projects: From community-scale networks to energy storage solutions, witness decarbonisation in action.
Showcase Homes: Experience new-build and retrofit homes designed with thermal comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency at their core.
With destinations ranging from Cambridge to Cardiff, the programme is tailored to showcase a diverse array of solutions, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Tickets and Value
Healthy Homes Hub offers a flexible approach to participation, with tickets designed to suit a range of needs:
Combo Tickets (£1,000): Ideal for a comprehensive dive, these cover a two-day tour and a one-day tour of your choice. Think of it as maximising you’re learning while saving £150 compared to buying separately.
Two-Day Tickets (£750): Perfect for those seeking in-depth experiences at key destinations.
Single Tickets (£400): A focused option for participants with tighter schedules, offering impactful one-day sessions.
Combo tickets can even be shared among colleagues, making them a practical choice for organisations aiming to upskill their teams.
The Bigger Picture: Why It Matters
At its core, the Immersive Learning Programme is about more than just individual learning. It’s part of the Healthy Homes Hub’s mission to make every home in the UK healthy, sustainable, and fit for the future. By fostering collaboration across policymakers, housing providers, and other stakeholders, the Hub is driving meaningful change—and these tours are a key piece of that puzzle.
