国内热力改造政策通常是自上而下的企业设计，制定标准并引导业主进行相应的改造。其基本假设是，正确的改造技术是由专家开发的，并通过供应链传至家庭，家庭将其按照设计应用于其财产。然而，这一模型受到了社会技术系统研究（STST）的挑战，即技术和社会在社会的各个层面相互形成并相互影响。利用这一概念框架，本研究调查了改造家庭中是否正在发生创新，以及这些创新对向上扩散到供应链并向外扩散到其他家庭有何支持。定性数据是通过对英国剑桥的房主改造者、建筑专业人士和支持这些活动的公民倡议进行半结构化访谈而收集的。本地创新体现在新改造技术的开发和现有解决方案的新颖重新配置中。其中大部分是由标准改造解决方案与遗产或审美价值、经济必要性或建筑专业人员缺乏知识或经验之间的冲突引发的。研究结果表明，英国热力改造政策不应将房主视为被动接受者，而应扩大范围，以识别房主开发的有用创新，并在适当的情况下支持他们。
Policy on domestic thermal retrofits is usually designed as a top-down enterprise, setting standards and inducing homeowners to retrofit accordingly. Its underlying assumption is that correct retrofit technology is developed by experts and comes down through supply chains to households, who apply it as designed to their properties. However, this model is challenged by the insight from socio-technical systems studies (STST) that technology and society mutually form and influence each other at every level of society. Using this conceptual framework, this study investigated whether innovations are happening among retrofitting households, and what support these have for diffusion upwards into supply chains and outwards to other households. Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews among homeowner-retrofitters plus building professionals and citizens׳ initiatives which support these, in Cambridge, UK. Local innovation was found in the development of new retrofit technology and novel reconfiguring of existing solutions. Much of this was triggered by clashes between standard retrofit solutions and heritage or aesthetic values, economic necessity, or building professionals׳ lack of knowledge or experience. The findings suggest that instead of treating homeowners as passive recipients, UK thermal retrofit policy should broaden to identify useful innovations developed by homeowners and support them where appropriate.
