At the Energy House Labs in Salford, England, they're actually making weather.
It's to test the energy efficiency of homes, as from 2025 the UK construction industry will be legally required to build new homes with reduced carbon emissions.
The ability to speed up this process is vital, as laboratories' Director, Professor Will Swan, points out.
Within the Labs, temperatures can be set anywhere from sub-zero to boiling hot, ranging from -20°C to 40°C.
The houses can be artificially forced to experience snow storms and high winds.
Although the test homes inside the facility look ready to move into, currently the only occupants are collections of sophisticated scientific equipment.
These include sensors used to test the devices, enabling the homes to become more environmentally friendly in all respects.
Tom Cox is a technical director on this original project.
He's thrilled with the advanced technological features they've been fortunate enough to try out.
The major advantage of the new technology, according to Cox, is the way in which the various elements function together.
With energy costs rising and climate change concerns growing across the world, these Energy House Labs could be a vital step in reaching carbon zero.
