Salford Energy House

The Salford Energy House (SEH) is a research facility based at the University of Salford, located within the Cockcroft Building. It was constructed as part of a European Regional Development Fund Project, as a whole house test facility where energy efficiency products could be tested under controlled conditions. The facility consists of a Victorian end-terrance property, with an additional half property adjoining to replicate a neighbouring house. The building is located within an environmental chamber that can replicate weather conditions. These include controlled temperatures between -13°C and 30°C, rain, solar radiation, snow and wind. The development of the project was commenced in 2010 and completed in 2011, when it was launched at an event called Retrofit 2011.
