At the Energy House Labs, England, they can produce different weather conditions.

They're using this to test new houses.

From 2025, the building business will have new rules.

The carbon which houses make needs to fall, but time's short.

Director Will Swan explains how this centre works.

In this science laboratory, the temperature can be extremely cold or hot - from -20°C to +40°C.

It can also be stormy, windy or snowy.

The test homes look normal enough, but they're just for research.

They're empty of people but full of modern technology.

The idea is to make homes greener and cheaper.

Tom Cox is the head of technology there.

He feels very positive about the range of technology in the houses.

Cox is pleased about how all the systems are able to work together.

Both energy costs and climate change problems are increasing.

These Energy Labs are one way to discover fast, reliable solutions.
