National research programmes
We are actively supporting a number of academic and government led programmes that are seeking to develop solutions to help deliver healthier living environments
Get in touchDrawing on research, data and real-world experience, this work helps teams move from understanding issues to acting on them, whether that’s shaping healthier homes standards, embedding prevention into services, or aligning housing delivery with wider health outcomes.
Some of the national research programmes and projects we are involved with:
HEARTH
A £7.4 million multi-year project led by Oxford Brookes University and funded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) and the National Institute for Health and Care Research to explore the human health impacts of the UK’s net zero targets in relation to extreme heat.
SMETER
This Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Innovation Programme measures how buildings perform while they are being lived in to inform design. Partners include AECOM, Loughborough University and UCL.
The HESTIA Network
(Home Environment Solutions through Technology and Innovation for All)
Supported by UKRI, HESTIA is a team of interdisciplinary researchers from leading UK universities working closely with government and housing organisations to create a new approach to home design and upgrades, integrating existing and emerging technologies to make buildings healthy for all people, and for the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
Live Data Trust
An Innovate UK project to create a secure platform to identify and collaborate on built environment data.
Start a Conversation
Every organisation's starting point is different. Some are exploring how asset investment can deliver wider social, health and environmental outcomes. Others are already developing ambitious programmes and looking for the confidence to take the next step.
Wherever you are on that journey, we'd welcome a conversation.
There is no sales pitch, just an open discussion about your ambitions, your challenges and the opportunities ahead.
