The University of Nottingham has helped bring ideas, people and businesses together to test low energy housing and community energy solutions at Trent Basin.
Trent Basin is a low energy housing development next to the River Trent in Nottingham. The University of Nottingham, the University of Loughborough and partners from industry have come together to develop solutions for sustainable living – from greener energy generation to sustainable housing development models.
Nick Ebbs led the development of Trent Basin, through Blueprint, a public-private housing development partnership, which is run by Igloo. By drawing on the expertise at the University of Nottingham and making links between industry and experts, a test bed has been created in the heart of the city.
Residents benefit from being part of the energy community at Trent Basin, enjoying access to cutting edge technology.
Having a living, breathing sustainable housing experiment in Nottingham brings additional opportunity to the area – skilled jobs and the chance to be part of finding solutions to the global challenge of climate change.
