Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing: peer review

Introduction

The work detailed in this Appendix describes a preliminary review of the case study dwelling specifications, and proposed improvement measures. The work refers to the original 'Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing' ( EESSH) consultation document, for which the RdSAP calculations used a previous version of the methodology (2005 v9.83). This means that where this review refers to the SAP rating or EI rating, these may now be different subject to the revised RdSAP calculations using the more methodology (2009 v9.90 or 9.91).

This case study review uses a suffix of an 'E' or a 'G' to clarify whether the discussions relate to just an 'electric' heated dwelling (for example, case study '1E') or a 'gas' heated dwelling (for example, case study '1G'). Absence of these letters implies that the discussion relates to both dwelling types, regardless of the fuel used for heating.
