The Centre for Net Zero High Density Buildings (CeNZ‑HighDB)
CeNZ-HighDB supports and develops Net Zero and archetype solutions for high density buildings and streetscapes. This UKRI-funded Centre tests new prototypes and retrofit buildings with low-carbon materials, heating and cooling systems, and energy storage technologies.

It aims to accelerate Net Zero inclusive whole system approaches, supporting business green growth, skills, jobs, and communities via Thematic Working Groups (TWGs). The Centre:
• tests new construction prototypes,
• develops archetype solutions,
• supports new skills pathways,
• develops and analyses data modelling systems,
• develops solutions for retrofit buildings with low-carbon materials,
• and assesses novel heating and cooling systems, and energy storage technologies.
