Shrewsbury is a small town where I live. It has a population of around 85,000 people. Some of the buildings people live in are 500 years old, and there are lots of houses built before the 1950's. These are really hard to make more energy efficient. But, lots of new houses are being built and these should be easier to design differently and better.<br><br>Given the context of mixed housing stock, solutions might need to be adaptable to the type of house: new build, newer brick buildings, and older stone or timber framed buildings.<br><br>Why is this important? Apart from the obvious reason of climate change, we are getting hotter summers and warmer winters. Traditionally houses are built to protect from cold not deal with heat. We need to think more about how new houses can be better at dealing with hotter temperatures without uses lots of energy (remember climate change).
