In this respect, integrated design charrettes have a role to play in transforming local industry and consumer attitudes, awareness and knowledge regarding higher performance housing. Active engagement of all stakeholders from planning through to the commissioning can help innovative housing projects meet their objectives. The project also demonstrated the importance of quality assurance protocols to help ensure materials and systems are installed as planned and performed as expected.
