The ELITH Project

ELITH, Energy and Low Income Tropical Housing, is a three year research project (2013 - 2016). With its key focus on sustainable development, it was set up to identify, research and propagate methods of addressing the energy consumption and climate emissions of low-income housing in hot climate developing countries.

Lead partner Warwick University has coordinated partner research institutions in Thailand, China, Uganda, Tanzania and the UK. The programme has been funded by the UK research council EPSRC.
