Vector Homes has designed a new residential building system using their innovative nanomaterial enhanced recycled material panels which can be easily bolted to a rapidly assembled steel frame, forming a thermally efficient home. Together, the Vector Homes unique materials and design will deliver NetZero housing without compromising on cost and quality.The industry is facing several key challenges:1. UK housing deficit/need for affordable housing - Rising land values and inflation in construction costs preventing new companies from entering the market.2. Amendments to Building Regulations - Driving need for more fire-safe materials to be developed.3. UK Construction priorities to lower emissions by 50% - Means more sustainable materials need to be developed to reduce embodied carbon..This project builds on existing materials development R&D at Vector Homes and will result in the build of a full-sized prototype home at a national test facility to act as a proof of principle, demonstrate that improvements over existing building components can be achieved with enhanced recycled materials and allow regulatory approval to be achieved.

Vector Homes设计了一种新的住宅建筑系统，使用其创新的纳米材料增强再生材料面板，可以轻松地用螺栓固定到快速组装的钢框架上，形成热效率高的住宅。Vector Homes独特的材料和设计将在不影响成本和质量的情况下提供NetZero住房。该行业面临着几个关键挑战：1.英国住房赤字/对负担得起的住房的需求-土地价值上升和建筑成本通胀阻止新公司进入市场。建筑法规修正案-推动需要开发更多的防火材料。英国建筑业优先考虑将排放量降低50% -这意味着需要开发更多可持续的材料来减少隐含碳。该项目建立在Vector Homes现有材料开发研发的基础上，将在国家测试设施中建造一个全尺寸的原型住宅，作为原则证明，证明可以通过增强再生材料实现对现有建筑构件的改进，并允许获得监管批准。
