Manufacturers and suppliers are being urged to present their products, materials and systems suitable for the sustainable improvement of homes for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE).

The NIHE is responsible for approximately 87,200 homes with a further 6,000 lease-hold properties, dating from 1901 to a small number built post-2000. Its stock covers both rural and urban locations, with traditional cavity wall, no-fines concrete, aluminium frame, solid wall and multi storey tower blocks of traditional and system-built construction.

House types include bungalows, two storey houses, high and low-rise flats and maisonettes, with the majority of properties being heated with gas or oil and some with electric heating.

The NIHE wants to investigate how innovation can assist in making its homes healthy, safe, and comfortable.
