Our proposal is based around two distinct, but intrinsically linked, aims: The first aim is to deliver the required cuts in energy use by focussing on the building fabric, structure and energy systems; the second aim is to gain an in-depth understanding of occupant behaviour and psychology, identifying technologies and processes that facilitate low carbon lifestyles and decision-making, both by individuals and groups.
Combining these two approaches, our objective is to deliver system solutions which address all aspects of carbon emission reductions in the home, while also establishing the potential for cost-effective, large-scale replication of the refurbishment project.
