Fuel poverty creates misery, ill health, and premature death. It is predicted that In the UK up to 10 million households will suffer from this scurge this coming winter.In response to this unfolding tragedy, VeraVerde is developing a product to eliminate the worst elements of fuel poverty. This works by implementing technologies that convert a cold, damp, expensive-to-heat room into a dry, cheap-to-heat room that is a pleasure to occupy: a Sanctuary!Our product is called the Sanctuary Room.A place that a family can study, work, eat, and hang out together in comfort.In addition to converting a cold room into a warm room, the Sanctuary Room provides fresh filtered air, has good lighting, and acoustics. Finally it all is nicely decorated in the colours of the tenants choice.The transformative effects of the Sanctuary Room are hard to exaggerate. Once installed a family can stop thinking of survival and think of living. They will have a room in their home where they will be comfortable, which will improve their well being, and their physical and mental health. Society at large will benefit with reduced healthcare costs, reduced energy use, and higher productivity.

燃料匮乏会造成痛苦、健康不佳和过早死亡。据预测，今年冬天，英国将有多达 1000 万家庭遭受这一灾难。为了应对这一正在发生的悲剧，VeraVerde 正在开发一种产品，以消除燃料匮乏的最严重因素。这是通过实施技术将寒冷、潮湿、取暖费用昂贵的房间转变为干燥、取暖费用低廉的房间，让人愉快地居住：避难所！我们的产品称为避难所房间。一家人可以舒适地一起学习、工作、吃饭和闲逛。庇护室除了将寒冷的房间变成温暖的房间外，还提供新鲜的过滤空气、良好的照明和音响效果。最后，一切都按照租户选择的颜色进行了精美的装饰。庇护室的变革效果是难以夸大的。一旦安装，家庭就可以不再考虑生存而考虑生活。他们的家中将有一个舒适的房间，这将改善他们的福祉以及身心健康。整个社会将受益于医疗保健成本的降低、能源消耗的减少和生产力的提高。
