Fuel poverty creates misery, ill health, and premature death. It is predicted that In the UK up to 10 million households will suffer from this scurge this coming winter.In response to this unfolding tragedy, VeraVerde is developing a product to eliminate the worst elements of fuel poverty. This works by implementing technologies that convert a cold, damp, expensive-to-heat room into a dry, cheap-to-heat room that is a pleasure to occupy: a Sanctuary!Our product is called the Sanctuary Room.A place that a family can study, work, eat, and hang out together in comfort.In addition to converting a cold room into a warm room, the Sanctuary Room provides fresh filtered air, has good lighting, and acoustics. Finally it all is nicely decorated in the colours of the tenants choice.The transformative effects of the Sanctuary Room are hard to exaggerate. Once installed a family can stop thinking of survival and think of living. They will have a room in their home where they will be comfortable, which will improve their well being, and their physical and mental health. Society at large will benefit with reduced healthcare costs, reduced energy use, and higher productivity.

燃料匮乏造成痛苦、不健康和过早死亡。据预测，今年冬天英国将有多达1000万户家庭遭受这一灾难。为了应对这一正在发生的悲剧，VeraVerde正在开发一种产品，以消除燃料贫乏的最严重因素。它的工作原理是通过实施技术，将一个寒冷、潮湿、昂贵的房间变成一个干燥、便宜的房间，这是一种享受：一个避难所！我们的产品叫圣所房。一个家庭可以一起舒适地学习、工作、吃饭和闲逛的地方。除了将寒冷的房间转换成温暖的房间外，圣所房间还提供新鲜的过滤空气，具有良好的照明和声学效果。最后，所有的装饰都是由租户选择的颜色。圣所室的变革效应怎么夸大都不为过。一旦建立了一个家庭，就可以不再考虑生存，而是考虑生活。他们将在家中拥有一个舒适的房间，这将改善他们的福祉，以及他们的身心健康。整个社会将受益于医疗成本的降低、能源使用的减少和生产力的提高。
