This collaboration with the Energy House 2.0 project is also the perfect case study , as our Modus window and door system were designed specifically in mind to meet the Future Homes Standard ( FHS ).”
Costing £ 16 million and completed in 2022 , Energy House 2.0 is a state-of-theart testing facility , with two large chambers that allow for two detached houses to be
built within . Each chamber is capable of simulating a wide variety of weather conditions and temperatures ranging from – 20 to + 40 ° C .
The test homes were completed in January this year and the Energy House 2.0 was opened to 400 visitors , and tours are still available through the year , scheduled to align with testing periods .
