A traditional-style terraced house is to be built inside a three-storey, sealed testing chamber at the University of Salford. In addition to its original brickwork and roof, the world's first 'Energy House', will also be fully furnished and fitted as a typical working home with fully functioning water, gas and electricity supplies.
Once completed next spring, the Coronation Street-style house - built in the same style as 4.5m pre-1920 UK homes - will be subject to some of the most advanced energy experiments ever conducted on a residential property.
