This paper demonstrates how Bellway's "The Future Home (TFH)" project contributes to the decarbonisation of UK housing stock, providing valuable insight into building net zero homes. A dynamic simulation model was initially created using design U-values, and accuracy was improved by incorporating measured values of U-values and air permeability rate. Subsequently, a co-heating test was conducted to measure the heat transfer coefficient of TFH, resulting in a minimal 0.8% difference compared to the final calibrated model stage. The calibrated model is then used to predict the primary energy use and running cost of the TFH. By implementing energy-efficient design principles and utilising renewable energy, the models predicted that TFH generates more energy than it consumes, making it a net-negative energy building.
