供热脱碳政策涉及推广低碳热能技术(例如,地源热泵和木屑颗粒锅炉)。在家庭建筑中,这种努力假定新技术与家庭制造实践在舒适性,舒适性和社交性方面的兼容性。然而,关于安装后使用低碳技术的研究有限,特别是老年人,这是老龄化社会中一个不断增长的社会群体。这项研究探讨了老年人如何生活在低碳热技术代表热舒适,借鉴在不同的英国家庭环境(业主自住和租用;额外的照顾,庇护和护理院;城市和农村)的深入采访。研究结果表明,舒适和发光的高度重视和老年人,并以不同的方式实现,可能会违背政策目标。在业主自用的农村住宅中,在安装地板下供暖/热泵后保留了烧木材的炉子,以提供可见的辉光和招待客人。在养老院,假壁炉提供舒适和发光,而不损害对风险的担忧。该研究表明,部署低碳供暖技术所带来的减排量可能被高估了,因为家居实践导致这些设备的补充,以提供舒适,舒适和社交。
Policies to decarbonize heat provision involve the diffusion of low carbon thermal technologies (e.g.ground-source heat pumps and wood pellet boilers). In domestic buildings, such efforts presume the compatibility of novel technologies with practices of home-making, in terms of comfort, cosiness and sociability. However, research on engagement with low carbon technologies post-installation is limited, particularly with older adults, a growing social group in an ageing society. This study explores how older adults living with low carbon thermal technologies represent thermal comfort, drawing on in-depth interviews in diverse UK home environments (owner-occupied and rented; extra-care, sheltered and care homes; urban and rural). Findings indicate that cosiness and glow are highly valued by and for older adults, and achieved in diverse ways that may run counter to policy goals. In owner-occupied, rural homes, wood-burning stoves were retained after installation of under-floor heating/heat pumps to provide a visible glow and hospitality to guests. In care homes, fake fireplaces provide cosiness and glow without compromising concerns about risk. The research suggests that presumed emissions savings from the deployment of low carbon heating technologies may be overestimated, as home-making practices lead to the supplementing of these devices to provide comfort, cosiness and sociability.
