The project was delivered by Cheshire West and Chester Council and involved installing measures in 52 park home properties built pre-1996 at the Orchard Park site in Elton. All properties received insulation, with 15 of these also receiving Vent-Axia single room heat recovery systems, usually one unit in the bathroom and one in the kitchen.

This project was delivered by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It involved installing a combination of two technologies – the Oxypod device, which removes dissolved gases from water-based central heating systems, reputedly improving efficiency of the system and reducing running costs; and the Ventive S passive ventilation and heat recovery system, which is intended to improve relative humidity levels and human comfort in interior spaces.

This project was delivered by YES Energy Solutions in collaboration with Basingstoke and Dean Borough Council.

This project was delivered by South Holland District Council (SHDC). It mirrored a similar project with the same partner which compared three other smart heating control products in other properties. Each project was recommended by the funders to involve installation of 45 to 60 heating controls and compare three technologies. The projects were on too large a scale to be combined, but the methodologies were comparable and so there are benefits in comparing results from both.

The Technical Innovation Fund has been groundbreaking because it enabled us to get an insight into how many new technologies can help households in vulnerable situations to reduce their energy bills and improve the comfort of their homes.

NEA commissioned this report to help stimulate debate on the policy options we must consider as we seek to decarbonise heat alongside delivering fuel poverty strategies across the UK. It helpfully draws out some of the tensions and challenges we face in changing the way in which we heat our homes, and the authors help us to consider the cost implications and distributional impacts of different funding mechanisms.

This research investigated the relationship between fuel poverty and carbon monoxide (CO) risk in households on low incomes and in vulnerable situations.

This project was delivered by YES Energy Solutions in collaboration with Basingstoke and Dean Borough Council to establish running costs of air-to-air source heat pumps (ASHP) in a park home setting, ultimately reducing heating costs for residents of Attwood Close park home site; examine customer satisfaction levels with ASHPs as a heating system; and provide a case study to be applied for future park home sites.

This project was delivered by Northwards Housing Limited. The project involved the installation of Honeywell evohome intelligent heating controls, Potterton MultiFit gas-saver flue gas heat recovery systems, and Potterton MultiFit weather compensators.
