Refurbished House

Based on historical design information, the Refurbished House is a full-scale ‘four-in-a-block’ demonstration of replicable retrofit solutions. Each of the four apartments is designed to meet different levels of performance against a modeled baseline, using different materials and technologies. The refurbishments are commercially realistic and practical in terms of cost and occupation. It is a live research and development laboratory which will provide valuable information for the development of a retrofit strategy to tackle the existing building stock in Scotland.
