Description

Modification Notice
Original description: Bf2050 is a study of the construction of low-cost, low-carbon buildings. It aims to understand the attitudes towards and challenges of this type of home, the costs and cost drivers associated with their construction, and their energy performance once occupied. It does this through a combination of physical monitoring and social research at four case study housing developments.
Its outputs will include evidence to support low-carbon building construction policy, and an understanding of the 'art of the possible' to inform future emissions reductions plans.
Description of the modifications
The project's aims and outputs remain the same as the original specification, but it has panned out differently to the way we envisaged. To enable us to meet our original aims and deliver further value, we are making some modifications to the contract through this variation. Although this variation increases the project's value and pushes back its end date, the nature of the project, its aims, and objectives remain unchanged.
