The major objective of the TAHI Commercialisation Programme is to initiate a series of regional developments. These will consist of many types of housing with many differenct groups of people in them and the developments of these home will be from the 100s to the several 1,000s. The prospective home-based users will cover the whole demographic range (see below) from rich to poor, young to old although there will be emphasis on those sectors for which we have set up working groups as these are seen as more ripe for development than the unfocussed mass market.

There will be new build, refurbishment and many homes will be retrofitted by their owners.

For this task we will need to create teams of organisations with the skills to cover all the trdes and technologies required to make connected homes intelligent (and to upgrade homes with intelligent and green materials and techniques).

It will be the task of the Working Groups to find the organisations best suited to take part in the consortia as they are established. (TAHI Members will be given the first choice of positions in consortia and will benefit from the body of knowledge within the TAHI organisation).

Under the auspices of the Commercialisation Programme the consortia will be drawn as appropriately from the various WGs to address particular demographic requirements.
