The purpose of this report is to document Beacon's new homes research, at the point of early wrap up of the NOW100 project. This report serves to act as a repository of our knowledge to date: it therefore informs uptake pathways for the current technical knowledge (e.g. single residential rating tool project) and as a baseline should new homes research programme be re-established in the future.
