This protects the performance of the home for its owner and ensures that only verified projects can carry the Hubhouse name.

It is a coordinated building system intended to be tested, measured and continually refined from one project to the next.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structural insulated panels allow major components to be manufactured and ordered in advance, supporting faster and more predictable construction. These work together with the central Hub, which organises the home&#8217;s essential services and technologies into an integrated system.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The principal difference is the combination of these elements &#8211; and the ongoing refinement of how they are designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned.
