2050 Now! Achieving the standards for 2050, and the potential role for innovative heating solutions in thermally improved homes

The project will be improving four homes to different levels and exploring the performance of new heating solutions to achieve the optimum balance of energy performance vs. heating input for these different technologies. The three main innovative heating technologies in this project are Baxi's Ecogen domestic CHP (dCHP), Baxi's Ambiflo ASHP and Nuaire's Sunwarm (combined positive input ventilation, solar thermal heating and solar hot water). The dCHP units will be installed in relatively worse performing households and the ASHP units in well insulated houses to understand the level of performance needed from homes to create the right environment for these technologies to achieve significant carbon savings.

A2 Dominion- Northholt,

This typical semi-detatched property has poor orientation for exploiting solar gain and the residents will remain in their home during the works, making this a particularly hard to treat property. The rewards however are great, with approx 5.9 million semi detatched properties in England which could be treated similarly. We aim to deliver a highly cost effective and replicable solution, using innovative solutions such as the solar shed , blown underfloor insulation, cork external insulation and bio-foam loft insulation in a holistic design approach. The proposals have been detailed and specified with a strong emphasis on UK based expertise and technologies.
