A project reducing our impact on the planet and providing
sustainable, comfortable, inexpensive living through ultra low energy.

 

The Sponsors

This is an opportunity to say the biggest ‘Thank You’ to a prodigious list of Companies that have sponsored the project in various ways and in varying degrees. In many instances product was developed for the project, or development programmes were hurried along.

Working with truly groundbreaking projects is challenging by definition, especially when most aspects of how the project house was to work are interactive as well as new. A great amount of technical information was required to enable ‘best’ solutions to be found, as detailed analyses were completed for almost every problem, so I am indebted to a number of academics as well.

Most Companies and Corporations asked for help did provide it, either willingly or eagerly, and the assistance some gave was quite beyond the call of duty. To all involved a huge thank you.

It was a sadness that no government or government associated organisation was willing to help or even be party to it. Indeed, more than one wanted to charge for information – which was of course declined.

In whichever order the Sponsors are listed it won’t be entirely representative, but companies that gave product for free are shown as 100% Sponsors, and those that gave often hugely deep discounts are shown below.
