The Spinelock Group in Mansfield, England is planning its first development of 18 energy efficient, modular homes in the central part of the country. Each home is comprised of four modules and when finished will be 30 percent larger than neighboring houses, bright, airy and spacious with energy bills below $200 annually, an estimated savings of $650 a year. The modules lock together using an innovative locking mechanism and are designed to be low maintenance, according to what bdaily.co.uk tells MHProNews. CEO Derick Wilson of Spinelock, says, “The UK housing industry is facing two major challenges over the next few years – to deliver enough affordable, quality housing to accommodate a growing population and to reduce carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050, all in the midst of an economic crisis. We want to revolutionise the UK housing industry and demonstrate that innovative thinking, new technology and working closely with local authorities, businesses and communities can provide a practical solution to the UK housing crisis.”
