Project summary

PHOCUS is a research project aiming at better understanding the barriers to delivering social housing projects (SHP) to Passivhaus standard, and to assist Social Housing Providers (SHP) across the UK in assessing and supporting decision-making when carrying out a Passivhaus project.
