Project 80: the project that will lead the Future Homes Standard in the UK

NEWS

Project 80 is a new development by Midland Heart, a Birmingham-based housing association, which will meet the Government’s new Future Homes Standard by reducing carbon emissions by up to 80%, three years ahead of schedule.  The 12 homes being built here will be monitored constantly as a research project to feed into the Government’s next consultation about the Future Homes Standard, which is to be introduced in 2025.

The properties on Grosvenor Road will look just like other new homes, as they are built using regular materials that have been sourced locally, demonstrating how practical it should be to achieve the Future Homes Standard.  The project will monitor how new homes can reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the government’s net zero strategy.

The first residents will be welcomed to their homes here in Spring 2022.
