Next week (1 – 4 June 2009) at Insite ‘09, Stewart Milne Group will share the learnings and outcomes of the evaluation of its Sigma prototype home. Sigma is actually a pair of four-storey, four bedroom townhouses that are rated 5-star, near zero carbon and meet the new code for sustainable housing regulations in England. One home has been completed, decorated and furnished to illustrate how well suited it is to modern day family living and the second home has deliberately been left empty to enable visitors to see the technology, features and flexibility of design of the SIGMA prototype home.
The two year research project, carried out in partnership with Oxford Brookes University and the Energy Savings Trust, included a real-life family living in the house in four separate tranches. Outcomes have challenged current thinking and informed Stewart Milne Group’s plans for developing sustainable homes for the future.
At Insite 09 at the British Research Establishment in Watford, Stewart Dalgarno, Director of Product Development, and Carolanne Dieleman, Group Marketing Director will be available over the four days for interview in person at the Sigma Home, or by telephone for media not attending the event.
