Tender Description

This project will aim to improve the evidence base of the Department to understand in more depth, the options for homeowners to transition to a home that is compatible with our Net Zero policy aims.

This will focus on practical research and monitoring of 1000 real homes in sectors which are recognised to be challenging to decarbonise from a policy perspective. Notably, owner occupiers in gas heated homes.

This project will aim to monitor the energy consumption and other parameters that influence energy consumption in up to 1000 homes in England and Wales. We will be looking for a contractor to design and install a monitoring regime that can meet a variety of objectives. The project will also aim to deliver a number of low cost, low disruption energy efficiency and heating measures and monitor the take-up and effectiveness of these during the trial.
