The Warden INTEGER Home, Newbury, Berkshire

The house was completed in Spring 2001 and is let out to a family at market rates for two years, after which it will be offered commercially for sale. The family is monitoring energy consumption and "live-ability" in the house in order to get real-time data on the performance of INTEGER homes.
