IGNITION

A Living Lab

Business Engagement

IGNITION Living Lab has already started attracting collaborations with businesses and industry. There are ongoing studies regarding green infrastructure for superstore and industrial building typologies. This is of great interest to supermarket brands such as TESCO’s and Sainsbury’s as potential opportunities for retrofit GI for the business sector.
