Abstract

The six 1970s bungalows are L-shaped and terraced with an identical layout, each with floor area of 64m2. The homes are off mains gas and prior to retrofit used oil, LPG or individual electric room heaters as a heating source. Since the retrofit the homes are all electric. Low carbon solutions have been selected using a whole house retrofit strategy combining reduced energy demand, renewable energy supply and energy storage. Our goals were to: • Extend the life of the homes by implementing affordable and replicable whole house energy systems. • Reduce energy use, energy bills and carbon emissions. • Improve thermal comfort for residents. • Evidence this through a comprehensive programme of computer modelling and monitoring.
