Abstract

Six 1990s semi-detached homes in Ceredigion were retrofitted with a whole house energy system, combining appropriate energy demand reduction, renewable energy supply and energy storage technologies. With different patterns of use and different heating systems, including air source heat pumps (ASHP) already installed in 4 of the homes, oil boilers and solid fuel in the other 2, each home had specific energy requirements, despite being extremely similar in external appearance and relatively new. Our goals were to: • design and implement affordable and replicable whole house energy systems. • reduce energy use, energy bills and carbon emissions. • improve thermal comfort for residents. • evidence outcomes through a comprehensive programme of computer modelling and monitoring.
