About the BRE Science Park
The BRE Science Park is home to our world-class research and testing laboratories, where we test and assure the safety and security of everything from the smallest component to entire buildings. We have brought some of this pioneering research to life in the BRE Flood Resilient and the Living with Dementia homes. The BRE Science Park also aims to give a future look at sustainable buildings and communities in the BRE Innovation Zone. This enables the pioneering ideas of innovators, architects, developers and manufacturers to be tried and tested before they’re rolled out in real communities. The sustainable energy-focused Zero Bills homes, which were trialled at the BRE Science Park, can be found in Essex and Hertfordshire in the UK.
BRE Innovation Zone
The BRE Innovation Zone hosts full-scale demonstration buildings, designed and developed by innovative start-ups and leading developers. It showcases a range of approaches to sustainable design, construction and refurbishment. These sustainable buildings are used to help to educate stakeholders and policymakers, and spark new collaborations, to drive positive change in the built environment.
