SPECIFIC

SPECIFIC was one of seven Innovation and Knowledge Centres set up in 2011 to foster new industries by closing the gap between scientific research and its commercial exploitation. The centre is based in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Swansea University... Buildings account for about 40% of global carbon emissions; in the UK they consume about 40% of all the energy produced. To address the energy crisis and reduce carbon emissions we need radical change in the way buildings are designed, built and integrated into our energy system: this is our mission... SPECIFIC brings together world-class expertise in fields including photovoltaics, industrial coatings, thermal and electrical storage. As well as developing technologies ourselves, we help others to develop and prove theirs.
