Abstract

Five homes across South Wales underwent a ‘deep retrofit’ between 2013-15. The homes varied in age and condition, from pre-1919 solid wall to cavity wall construction built in the 2000s, with either two or three bedrooms. The low carbon solutions were tailored to address the needs of each housing type, combining appropriate energy demand reduction, renewable energy supply and energy storage technologies. The battery of two of the homes was replaced in 2018 with a more efficient one. Our goals were to: • Design and implement affordable and replicable whole house energy systems. • Reduce energy use, energy bills and carbon emissions. • Improve conditions for residents. • Evidence this through a comprehensive programme of modelling and monitoring.
