Abstract

Houses in deprived communities will frequently suffer from poor standards of thermal comfort and energy performance. They are hard to heat in winter and consequently burn more fuel and produce higher CO₂ emissions than any equivalent energy efficient dwellings. As a result, occupants can become trapped in fuel poverty and may also experience health problems. Therefore, applying energy efficiency measures to poor quality housing does not guarantee that the maximum potential savings from the measures will be accomplished. This study has been undertaken as part of the BIG Energy Upgrade (BEU) project, which aims to deliver a new approach to housing retrofitting and energy efficiency within a minimum of ten of the most deprived communities across six local authorities within Yorkshire and the Humber region in the UK. The paper is investigating the procedures by which energy efficient measures for such properties are installed, quantified and assessed throughout a post occupancy monitoring programme and a series of computer simulation studies. This will represents an innovative approach and has the aim of ensuring that as much of the theoretically achievable energy savings are actually realised in practice. As a consequence, residents will have the best chance of perceiving what difference the energy efficiency interventions have had on the quality of their home environment.
