#TCNPlus TRANSFORMING OUR RESEARCH BASE: COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS SHOWCASE FERGUS HARRADENCE Deputy Director, Construction, Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy ALISON NICHOLL Head of Constructing Excellence, BRE ##TCNPlusTCNPlus PUTTING PEOPLE AT THE HEART OF FUTURE SOCIAL HOUSING DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE DR HUDA DAWOOD Senior Research Associate, Teesside University PROFESSOR PAUL VAN SCHAIK Professor of Psychology, Teesside University ##TCNPlusTCNPlus THE PROBLEM • Social-housing occupants have limited choice over their living environment • Social-housing providers focus on low cost • User experience is not systematically addressed in social-housing design Existing work on requirements and design takes a technology-driven ‘deficit approach’: fixing problems rather than fulfilling human needs • Occupants’ quality of living environment may be compromised v The project addresses the lack of a systematic and theoretical approach to incorporating user experience (UX) research, tools and models to support social housing design • Social-housing occupants are more likely to experience fuel poverty v The project also focuses on occupants’ understanding and experience of energy systems #TCNPlus THE PLAN 1. Conduct a systematic literature review to identify design parameters that are relevant for housing and influence occupants’ UX 2. Conduct a systematic literature review to identify occupants’ user needs, convert these into requirements and establish their relevance 3. Develop a theoretical design matrix as a basis for subsequent data collection 4. Conduct semi-structured interviews with social housing providers and social housing design architects 5. Conduct semi-structured interviews and an online survey with housing occupants 6. Refine the design matrix mapping of UX factors onto design parameters 7. Verify the design matrix with stakeholders #TCNPlus THE BENEFITS • Policy-makers Ø Inform RIBA guidance on POW related to earlier project development stages Ø Influence house building standards, through RIBA and housing associations • Industry Ø Enhance quality of living environment and wellbeing, and post-occupancy operation assessment Ø Reduce maintenance costs; improve energy performance and operation of assets Ø Improve client brief and prioritisation of user requirements Ø Improve quality and safety in off-site modular construction • Academics Ø Design matrix to clarify factors that contribute to enhanced quality of living environment and wellbeing Ø Identify and prioritise social housing design parameters (e.g. interior/exterior space, lighting) #TCNPlus THE RESULTS: DESIGN MATRIX Source: Moghimi et al.

Existing innovative manufactured, volumetric, component and traditional solutions will be challenged by comparison with spacecraft system manufacture to advance understanding of fast-moving technologies, airtight assembly, logistics, innovation and integration. • To research the presumption for offsite in healthcare building and advance DfMA • To explore the capabilities, business models and incentives for accelerated pathways to offsite building manufacture and delivery • To understand how manufactured, volumetric, component and traditional solutions can be found for this complex setting – then to deliver efficiencies and increased quality (Bryden Wood, 2017) • To challenge existing frontiers by drawing a comparison with spacecraft system manufacture. Both use advanced fast-moving technologies, both require air tightness, both are spatially complex, and have challenging assemblies and logistics - requiring significant levels of building services innovation and integration #TCNPlus THE PROBLEM Digitally enabled systems integration is highly advanced in space-craft engineering. Manufacture in clean and controlled environments. Systems engineering across all Image: Offsite Solutions Image: North Bristol NHS Trust interfaces to maximise efficiencies.

Articulate client requirements, agree standards and develop capabilities for advanced hospital specific design platforms, kit of parts and configurators. Share innovative capabilities, stimulate open sourcing and establish supply network integration to reduce risk and increase innovation.
