Case Study: Solcer House
The Welsh School of Architecture designed and built Wales’ first low cost ‘energy positive’ house in an attempt to meet tough targets for zero carbon housing. The Solcer House is capable of exporting more energy to the national grid than it uses - in an attempt to meet tough targets for zero carbon housing.
The Solcer House, located at the Cenin site in Stormy Down, uses a unique systems approach to design combining renewable energy supply, thermal and electrical energy storage and reduced energy demand, to create an energy positive house at an affordable cost. It has been designed to meet social housing standards and was constructed in 16 weeks using local supply chains.
