A unique study, involving a full-scale terraced house built inside a chamber, hopes to find ways the UK housing sector can cut its energy use.
The University of Salford project will assess how energy efficiency technology performs in a range of conditions.
Researchers say homes account for 25% of emissions, which needs to be tackled if the UK is to meet its target of cutting emissions by 80% by 2050.
The Energy House was officially opened by Climate Change Minister Greg Barker.
