Current Newbuild Outreach projects • Lockerbie – Sustainable estate layout. Waste heat recovery scheme. • Belfast – Building fabric standards to Code 4. District heating networks & ESCO’s. • Swindon – Energy infrastructure strategy. • Case studies – e.g. district heating scheme, Birmingham • Monitoring – Mid St, Sigma Home (Innovation Park) www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/housing
Monitoring • Energy Saving Trust monitoring protocols for housing developers/associations • Standardised approach to measure actual energy consumption & CO2 emissions • Measure fabric insulation performance & microgen technology performance • Basic/advanced options • Manual/remote data collection • Recognition for the Energy Saving Trust • Inform industry and consumer www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/housing
Livability Studies • Monitoring project underway to examine occupant behaviour in Code 5 home • Compare thermal performance of home with occupant perception of comfort • Evaluate ease of use of: heating systems, ventilation systems, renewable energy technologies • Inform industry of how to optimise low carbon design for user appeal www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/housing
Sustainable Estate Layout • Not just about energy! • New compelling ‘hook document’ to guide planners, designers & developers to optimise housing site layout for sustainability • Maximise solar gains • Community heating strategies • Adaptation & future proofing climate change • Waste & water strategies

Consumer attitudes “I would like to own a [low carbon] property for its impact in reducing my carbon footprint as I feel we should all work towards protecting the environment. I do however feel that government should, through tax breaks, subsidise eco-friendly building and that the consumer should not have to pay more” “The technology is too new - I would prefer to see it tried and tested before I put my hard-earned money into it” “We bought a new build because we didn’t want to have to do anything to it”
“I feel we should all work towards protecting the environment. I do feel that government should, through tax breaks, subsidise eco-friendly building and the consumer should not have to pay more”

“If building regs aren’t good enough then they should be raising the standards.” “This might put me off a house, ‘cause they will want more money for it to try and recover the costs of all the work.” “Ethically, I care about the long term impact on the environment and would like to do my bit to help, if the extra cost is partially offset by lower bills then that's even better” “You fall in love with the house, you don’t think about what type of boiler it’s got .”
Funding Landscape for Industry Currently undertaking project to identify: • Grants, loans & funding mechanisms available to building industry for EE improvements • Newbuild & existing homes • Local & national schemes • Public & private sector builds • Large developers through to smaller builders • Ongoing research project www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/housing
