Project overview
This proposal addresses some of the challenges related to the built environment. Its aims are to develop innovative solutions with respect to the maintenance and refurbishment of existing buildings. The longer term outcome is to achieve an urban environment which addresses the changing needs of society and improves the quality of life for UK citizens. The research themes developed within this programme will deliver processes and technological solutions which can be characterised as: reducing adverse affects of buildings on the environment (waste, C02 emissions, pollution and energy); are socially acceptable to the occupiers; and are economically viable for the owners of the buildings. The outcomes from the associated research programme will provide the fundamental understanding to enable demonstrable improvements to be made to the sustainability of the built environment in the short to medium term.
