About AIMC4
AIMC4 is a unique partnership created to research, develop and pioneer the volume production of low carbon homes for the future.
The AIMC4 consortium will develop and apply innovative materials, products and process to meet the government's Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 energy standard, through innovative fabric-first solutions, thus embedding reduced carbon emissions within the performance of the dwelling.
The six consortium members are developers Stewart Milne Group, Crest Nicholson plc and Barratt Developments plc who will be responsible for the design and build of a minimum of 12 world class energy efficient homes; Oxford Brookes University who will analyse and evaluate both the performance of the homes and the occupants behaviours once the homes have been sold and are occupied; the Building Research Establishment (BRE) advising on innovative solutions and evaluating the technical issues; and H+H UK Ltd, an innovative supplier of Aircrete concrete products.
The ground breaking project overall is worth £6.4m, of which £3.2m has been invested by the developers with a further £3.2m in matched funding from the Technology Strategy Board.
