With an ever-increasing interest around sustainability and energy efficiency, we have created a micro-site for Octavia Housing to communicate the progression of their eco experiment, The Princedale Project.  Having received funding from the Technology Strategy Board’s Retrofit for the Future programme, Octavia is conducting an eco experiment which focuses on the transformation of a Victorian house into an exemplar low energy home, and the comparison between this innovative adaptation and a typical Decent Homes refurbishment property.

The micro-site has accessible navigation throughout – communicating what the project is all about and how results will be measured, exploring the technical aspects of the project and keeping visitors update with photos, videos and information documents.  Visitors also have access to an online blog, providing insight and frequent updates from the heart of the experiment.

Within the micro site, we have also designed and created an interactive eco house.  By hovering over a particular area, it shows how and where the eco home will save energy, as well as an estimate of the cost and carbon saving.
