New technology and innovation at Greenwich Millennium Village

Greenwich Millennium Village next to the Millennium Dome in London is a showcase for innovations in sustainable and efficient construction. The £250 million development of nearly 1400 homes and commercial units features its own web site, a combined heat and power plant, modular bathrooms and plant rooms, water saving devices and low embodied energy materials. It is being procured over a five-year programme through sophisticated partnering arrangements and the first residents move in later this year. This paper describes the technical aspects of the innovations introduced on the project.
