There was a visit recently to Solcer House, designed and constructed by a team from the Welsh School of Architecture as part of a Low Carbon Research Institute programme.  It is Britain’s first ‘energy positive’ house + built in just 16 weeks.  Batteries store electricity generated from the solar panels that function as the roof, and with massive amounts of insulation to reduce energy use together with state-of-the-art building materials it should be able to export electricity to the national grid for eight months of the year.
