Modular Homes, Part of the Answer

Next Generation home buyers happy to pay more upfront for greener homes and put environmental issues top of the buying agenda

New research from Make UK Modular reveals public backing for greener, more energy efficient homes.

Introducing stamp duty incentives for the most energy efficiency homes will ensure the UK is building greener homes for a more sustainable future.

  • Six in ten renters and buyers say that the environmental performance of a new home is important to them.
  • One in two people would pay more upfront for a greener
  • Nearly eight in ten people would pay more upfront for a home with lower energy bills.
  • Under 30s see greener homes being of the greatest importance and are more willing to pay more for them.
  • Modular homes are seen as being part of the answer, with more than 25% citing modular homes as environmentally friendly, nearly 30% as efficient, and over 35% as modern.

Make UK Modular is calling for a radical approach to stamp duty based on a homes’ energy performance as part of a green housing revolution.

A new report by Make UK Modular, in partnership with Octopus Energy, reveals overwhelming backing from the British public for more energy efficient homes. The new report Green Shoots: The future of UK housebuilding shows broad public support for homes that are better for the environment and better for the public’s pocket.

Research was carried out by Savanta, surveying 2,300 adults in the UK, using a nationally representative sample, asking their views on greener homes and whether they would be prepared to pay for them.

Six in ten home renters and buyers said that the environmental impacts of a new home was important to them, demonstrating the public’s desire for new homes to be more environmentally friendly. This was further underlined by 40% of the public saying it would be willing to pay more upfront if their home was environmentally friendly.

By aligning to the Prime Minister’s recently announced net zero approach, the proposed measures would not add additional burdens on households, but instead drive energy efficiency in a way that lowers household bills. This desire to have greener, more sustainable homes was even more in evidence among the next generation of home owners and buyers, with 66% of those surveyed aged between 18 and 30 saying it would be willing to pay more for an environmentally friendly home.

With energy bills still higher than in previous years, eight in ten members of the public would be willing to pay more for a home if their energy bills were lowered as a result. This received widespread support but again was particularly the case for those aged between 18 and 30.

Modular manufacturers can build greener homes at a competitive price, with many modular companies building homes in the top energy performance band, saving the average family up to £1,000 a year on its energy bills. Octopus Energy has even succeeded in providing a Zero BillsTM guarantee for five years on highly energy efficient homes which are fitted with low carbon technologies. The energy supplier is already working with a number of Make UK Modular’s members in a bid to deliver 50,000 of these greener, bill-free properties by 2025.

Make UK Modular, the trade body for modular housebuilders, is now calling for a green housing revolution to tackle the housing and climate change crisis together. By taking a modern approach to stamp duty based on energy performance, reforming the Affordable Homes Programme and ensuring the planning process fast-tracks greener house building, the Government would unlock the potential for modular homebuilders to build the greener homes for the future that the public are demanding.

 

Daniel Paterson, Director of Government Affairs at Make UK Modular said:

“We are on the cusp of a green housing revolution. This report clearly shows wide public demand for modular building methods that reduce the costs to the environment and to household budgets. We now need to see action on the part of government to allow for these greener homes that not only help reduce the carbon cost of construction but help the household pocket too. Government can help today at zero cost to the Treasury by introducing demand side reforms of stamp duty rates, reforming the Affordable Homes Programme allocation for modular builders, and using unspent pledged funding to help improve supply chains.”

Michael Cottrell, Zero Bills Homes Director at Octopus Energy said

“The evidence is clear to see: greener homes are fast becoming hot property, and modular manufacturers are particularly well placed to deliver the revolution. When powered by Octopus’ industry-leading smart tariffs, these homes have the potential to radically lower energy bills for consumers – in some cases all the way to zero. We’re now calling on developers of all shapes and sizes to help us make greener, bill-free homes the new standard.”

Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The Risks and Opportunities

  • The Prime Minister’s AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in early November is an opportunity for the UK to take the lead on AI regulation and signal its openness to industries and sectors developing the next generation of AI
  • While sci-fi narratives about the destructive potential of AI are popular, they are overblown
  • Ahead of the summit, a new report from the Centre for Policy Studies calls for the government to take a ‘grown-up and proportionate attitude’ towards AI regulation to maximise opportunity and minimise risk
  • ‘Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The Risks and Opportunities’ recommends the introduction of a safety charter and prediction markets as consumer-friendly solutions to improving AI safety and alleviating public concern

Far from being the ominous tool of destruction of science-fiction films, AI already exists in many parts of our everyday life – from weather forecasts to our social media feeds. It is welcome that the Prime Minister is seeking to position the UK as a key player in the future of AI – but a new report argues that his AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park must focus on a small number of targeted interventions to support safe use, not strangle future development before it happens.

‘Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The Risks and Opportunities’, written by CPS Head of Tech and Innovation Matthew Feeney, sets out the current state of AI, highlighting current uses of the technology and dispelling some horror stories about its future.

The report also outlines a ‘Blueprint for Bletchley’, warning that over-regulating new and emerging uses for AI could stifle innovation and damage the Prime Minister’s ambition to make the UK an AI hub.

Instead the report recommends three key interventions:

  • Making AI a cross-government issue – The report endorses the Government’s view that AI should be embedded within regulators across Whitehall, to provide more tailored and sector-sensitive solutions to this emerging technology, rather than establishing a central ‘AI super-regulator’
  • Introducing safety charters – It argues that the best way to manage the risks of AI is for regulators to define the harms they are seeking to prevent and the likelihood of such harms occurring, as well as establishing a set of safety standards
  • Establishing prediction markets – Given the welter of outlandish claims about AI, establishing a set of prediction markets, supported by government, would help consumers, researchers and investors to better understand the risks and opportunities of new AI tools

The report acknowledges the potential harms that AI can cause, and the need for safety regulation, but argues these should be balanced against the huge potential benefits. It argues the UK should lead international partners, taking an approach which ‘tackles the use of technology rather than the technology itself’, for example when dealing with issues such as deepfakes.

The report also recognises the disruptive power of AI for jobs, but argues that we need to invest in helping people through the transition rather than blocking the deployment of technologies that will simply end up being introduced elsewhere.

USA: Utah Opts for Offsite Homes

Offsite Home: ZenniHomes

Utah is facing a major challenge when it comes to the cost of housing. Homeownership is becoming increasingly unattainable for average workers, and rising rents are making it difficult to find affordable apartments. This issue has been a point of contention in recent mayoral debates in Salt Lake City, and it has caught the attention of Governor Spencer Cox, who is urging cities to find solutions to increase the housing supply.

To address this pressing problem, state and local leaders, academics, and developers recently gathered at the Innovations in Housing Affordability Summit at the University of Utah. One potential solution that was highlighted at the summit is factory-built housing. According to researcher Dejan Eskic, 77.2% of Utah households cannot afford a median-priced home. Additionally, a report from Ivory Innovations, a nonprofit arm of Ivory Homes, revealed that the United States had a deficit of 3.8 million housing units in 2020.

Factory-built housing involves constructing homes in factories with the use of steel, automation, and 3D printing technology. This approach offers several advantages. It allows for high-quality, quickly-built homes that generate minimal waste and pollution. Factory-built housing is also less constrained by the limitations of a tight labor market, short building seasons, and the need for variety.

Companies across the Mountain West are setting up factories to expedite the delivery of much-needed housing units. ZenniHome, for example, is developing modular homes that utilize steel and advanced technology. These homes are designed to be stackable and transportable. Other examples of affordable housing projects using factory-built modular homes and apartments have been successful in cities like Seattle and Mesa, Arizona.

Despite the many benefits of factory-built housing, navigating the complex web of state and local laws remains a major hurdle. However, Salt Lake City has taken the lead in adopting off-site construction standards, making it easier to bring factory-built units into the city. Efforts are also being made by the Utah League of Cities and Towns to support this innovation by addressing regulatory challenges.

While progress is being made, there are still concerns about ensuring that cost-savings from factory-built houses are passed on to homebuyers. It is hoped that new rules and regulations will be introduced during the upcoming legislative session in Utah to support and expand the use of factory-built homes as a solution to the state’s affordable housing crisis.

The springboard for the net zero energy system

Paul Murrell

 

With just over a decade left on the clock, Paul Murrell, project director, nuclear & power at AtkinsRéalis discusses how a digital and data-centric approach will be fundamental in transitioning to a zero-carbon energy system.

 

 

The biggest upgrade to the UK’s electricity generation and HV grid is currently underway, moving the country towards a more affordable, home-grown, secure and cleaner energy system. The infrastructure requirements to deliver clean energy into our homes and businesses are immense and involve a design and build rate on a scale not seen for a generation.

Analysis we published earlier this year predicted the UK will need to build 12-16GW of new generation capacity each year between now and 2035 to hit decarbonisation targets. That’s equivalent to building Ireland’s entire energy system each year. Over the last 20 years the largest amount built and connected in a year is 6GW and we’re currently falling short of the minimum build rate that’s essential, not just for decarbonisation, but for security of supply and affordability.

It’s an unprecedented challenge and one that may not be achievable without a digital and data-centric approach that optimises programme delivery and design integration. By transforming and modernising the way the new physical infrastructure is designed, delivered and operated, it will not only speed up the build rate, but provide significant efficiency and cost savings over the assets’ lifetime.

Accelerating asset delivery through design automation

We can look to other complex infrastructure projects, such as those in the rail sector, for inspiration.

In 2014, spurred on by growing capacity issues and funding constraints, the UK rail industry embarked on the biggest upgrade to the rail network since the Victorian age. Digitalisation was core to its strategy and projects such as the East West Rail and HS2, heralded a new era of digital design.

Design and virtual modelling tools were used to model the construction and commissioning phases very early on in the design process and helped reduce the project delivery time by around 12 months, compared to more traditional routes.

Applying 4D design and integration of metadata with asset management tools also means clients have access to a comprehensive digital reference of all their assets, providing further savings post design and construction, if modifications are required.

Modern methods of construction also present an important way to save time, boost efficiency and reduce carbon footprint in the build stages. This might be using offsite modular fabrication approaches, 3D printing and precast parts, as well as innovative onsite techniques and new materials.

By automating design, costs may also be significantly reduced through replication. This has been central to the UK’s nuclear new build strategy, for example using data from the design and build of Hinkley Point C to inform plans for the proposed Sizewell C power station to drive down costs and schedule risk.

Other tools such as digital twins are also increasingly being used to underpin understanding of systems design and operational changes. By creating a virtual model, it is possible to assess impacts of change on system performance, effectiveness and efficiency and therefore reduce operational costs, as well as risks before any physical changes are implemented.

Regulation approvals and planning permission often proves a key step to ensuring timely and optimised development. It can take many months and often will dictate the critical path, if not managed collaboratively and effectively.

While not a ‘magic pill’, we are also helping clients successfully use advanced digital modelling to help secure buy-in during the vital planning stages and public consultations. For instance, a digital, interactive model could be used to help convey the potential impact of a new piece of infrastructure to local communities and planning authorities.

Using a planning led approach to infrastructure design can help select appropriate routes for infrastructure such as cabling and overhead lines, in the same way that has been used for rail routes.

Longer-term gains

Simulations and visualisations, digital technologies such as machine learning and wider digitisation of the grid will also provide long-term gains outside the design phase, enhancing asset management and operations and maintenance practices.

Data capture and AI for example might be used to provide comprehensive insight into an asset’s performance, and facilitate a more proactive, predictive and preventative approach, improving safety, efficiency and reliability.

Virtual replicas can also be used by engineers to explore complex and restrictive areas before going onsite, through a VR headset or mobile device. This can reduce the duration of their planned activities, minimise costs and improve safety.

Data-driven collaboration

Poor information management can be responsible for a high number of issues in design, construction, and operations. If the supply chain does not have access to the information it needs to make timely decisions, it may result in a potentially costly delay.

Major projects generate terabytes of data, and so it is becoming essential to have secure, common data environments to store, sort and interact with. This should provide a single source of the most up to date information needed by the multidiscipline teams involved and used throughout the entire project life cycle.

In addition, advanced data-driven programme management tools and interactive dashboards help to present programme and performance information, enabling better management decisions and improving risk management.

To realise the full potential of all these digital tools however, whether in the design, planning, build or operational stages, will require greater collaboration. Stakeholders and contractors, working right across projects need to be open to sharing their data and insight, so the right decisions can be made, and the best outcome achieved.

All to play for

By adopting a digital and data-centric approach for the design and delivery of the country’s new energy infrastructure, the UK has a chance to become a leader in the green energy transition. More digitalisation, deployed at pace, will not only accelerate the build, but generate a safer, more efficient energy network that will serve us for many decades to come.
