Aberystwyth University - Smart Home Lab
In April 2023, Chesworth Homes embarked on constructing the Smart Home Lab, a commercial new build project for Aberystwyth University. The timber-framed, sustainably considered bungalow will be employed in the research of AI and Robotic assisted living, further expanding the capabilities of the University's Physical Sciences department.
The project incorporates various cutting-edge features with respect to design, sustainability, and environmentalism. These include vaulted ceilings, triple-glazed rationale windows and doors, an airtightness membrane, added PIR insulation, and underfloor heating powered by an Air Source Heat Pump. Additionally, the bungalow features a comprehensive electrical specification tailored for commercial use.
