The project will develop **a regulatory science and innovation network** in the context of **retrofitting existing homes** to meet government net-zero targets. The objective is to advance regulatory science to help policymakers understand, identify and assess different approaches to regulating new technologies (heat, power, fabric, process solutions), lea...

The project will develop a network for regulatory science in the context of retrofitting existing buildings to meet government net-zero targets. Our **Phase 1** 'discovery' project will establish a virtual network with expertise in regulatory science in the context of retrofitting upgrades to existing buildings needed for the UK to meet net-zero targets. ...

This retrofit-centred Programme, comprising two workstreams, will enable Three Rivers District Council to accelerate progress towards its net-zero targets - 2030 for Council operations, and 2045 for the District's emissions - using an innovative, data-informed, and community-focused approach. The Programme will compromise a two pronged approach to acceler...

The new SuperHomes Rating Scheme (SRS) is a leading-edge approach, which establishes a range of performance tiers for the retrofit of existing homes, covering energy use, comfort, health and well-being and can accommodate all mainstream domestic retrofit solutions. Building on the success of the existing SuperHomes network of 200 homes, this feasibility s...

Buildings are becoming increasingly ‘connected’, be it in the provision of services or added functionality for consumers (smart heating, lighting, security, IoT appliances, IFTTT), metering and billing by utility providers (smart meters and monitoring) or in the wider supply chain’s pursuit of ever more detailed performance and condition monitoring and ma...

Social housing providers' asset strategies are becoming more sophisticated, requiring multiple outcomes from stock upgrades reflecting a broad range of economic, social, and environmental requirements. To fulfill these requires supply chains which are integrated, and which learn from experience. Independent monitoring has identified very substantial perfo...

This feasibility study project aims to establish the basis for a new construction industry sector in mass- customised, off-site manufactured domestic refurbishment. This will require innovation in business models; supply chain relationships and interoperability; the treatment of risk, performance assurance and warranties in contractual relationships; fina...

National Energy Foundation working with Carbon co-op to further develop its approach to whole house assessment and improvement option appraisal.

The aim of this project is to develop an innovative easy to install, flexible, low cost building monitoring and management system infrastructure and interface. The system will harness the benefits of the power line carrier (PLC) technology currently used by TerOpta in its lighting control system in avoiding the need for additional wiring whilst not being ...

This project will establish a consortium to innovatively address heating control management in the domestic sector. MyCloudConrol is a robust, self-learning cloud based heating control platform that will monitor the micro and macro environment of homes by using sensor systems and a novel algorithm. The scheme will enable an improvement in heating efficien...

A consortium comprising of Environmental Process Systems (EPS), the University of Nottingham (UoN), AND Technology Research (ANDtr), Absolute Air & Gas (AAG), Elmhurst Energy Systems (EES) and the National Energy Foundation (NEF) are developing a more efficient, accurate and assessor and occupant friendly means of determining the air tightness properties ...
