The Rivermark residential development, located on a former brickworks site near Guildford, is targeting net-zero status and promotes regenerative urban development. Key initiatives include house design guidelines supporting energy efficiency and the inclusion of PV systems, the use of low-carbon materials in civil and landscape works and ecological placemaking.
Research activities at Rivermark will focus on investigating resident interest and uptake of a novel developer-led behind the meter battery leasing service to enhance the utilisation of locally generated solar energy. Technical performance through smart metering, as well as the importance of resident energy literacy and stakeholder trust will be investigated.
