30 Years of MEARU - Improving Energy, Comfort and Health in Housing
13th – 31st January 2024
Reid Ground Floor Corridor
Since being established in 1993, the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit (MEARU) at the Glasgow School of Art has been involved in a wealth of innovative national and international research and consultancy projects that help understand the causes and effects of fuel poverty and poor indoor environment quality.
30 Years of MEARU – Improving Energy, Comfort and Health in Housing gives a snapshot of three exciting decades of high-impact research, from MEARU’s first project in Easthall, Glasgow, to their most recent in Nairobi, Kenya. The exhibition gives an opportunity to look back at the social and political context leading to MEARU’s establishment, reflect upon some of the research work MEARU has undertaken and look forward at the new policies being implemented to improve the thermal and environmental quality of homes.
