Norse Homes has become one of the first UK developers to integrate Tap, the intelligent light switch by Tewke, into new residential developments.
Norse recognises the growing shift within the building sector toward data-led, performance-focused housing. By adopting Tap, Norse homes is actively responding to rising homeowner expectations, tightening regulations, and the long-term maintenance pressures facing both private developers and housing authorities.
Norse Homes is currently installing Tap in every room of three forthcoming bespoke properties. These homes will function as full live-environment trials, demonstration homes for regional housing providers and local authorities, and evidence platforms to measure building performance, environmental conditions, and operational impact.
The trial will generate room-level data on temperature, moisture and air quality, enabling Norse to demonstrate how intelligent building technology can reduce running costs, improve environmental performance, and support more proactive long-term maintenance.
Carl Wilkinson, managing director at Norse Homes, recognised the value of Tap immediately. Carl comments: “We are empowering homeowners with better insight into how their home actually performs. Homes are organic systems that age over time, so data that can help homeowners manage room-level efficiency, coupled with the high level of personalised, automated control is a welcome addition to modernising builds.”
