The Fairer Warmth App

到2030年，家庭能源改善每年可以节省7.7亿英镑的家庭能源账单，每年为NHS节省5亿英镑（LGA，2022年）。但是，对于地方当局、社会住房供应商、公用事业公司和其他参与住房脱碳的组织来说，确定并支持最需要家庭能源改善和能源效率措施的人是具有挑战性的、耗时的，而且往往是无效的。我们的解决方案是“更公平的温暖”应用程序，它将在家庭和希望支持社区的组织（如地方当局）之间提供一个动态的数字接口，并深入了解应该在哪里进行战略投资。家庭将利用它获得简单的能效建议，使他们的家庭更舒适、更经济地运行，快速评估获得赠款的资格，并确定改造和家庭能效措施的目标。它将被地方当局等组织使用，社会住房供应商和公用事业公司更有效地为家庭改造分配贷款和赠款，并详细和大规模地了解住房存量改造要求-支持当地能源计划（laep）的发展。更公平的温暖应用程序将产生一系列社会影响，包括：*使那些挣扎于账单的家庭能够使他们的房屋更节能，并使组织能够将资金分配给最需要的人。*帮助许多家庭摆脱燃料贫困——每年为NHS节省5亿英镑（LGA，2022年），并让人们参与到脱碳议程中来。*减少公共部门在寻找最需要改造的人的社区外展方面的支出。*加快改造和节能措施的步伐。*对净零排放产生重大影响，减少整体能源使用-节省天然气和电力。*帮助人们保持家中温暖，减少相关的健康影响。总之，如果广泛采用，更公平的温暖应用程序可能会产生变革性的影响，并成为整个英国实现净零和自我驱动的健康改善的关键推动者。

Home energy improvements could save £770 million a year from household energy bills by 2030 and save £500 million a year for the NHS (LGA,2022). But, identifying and then supporting the people in most in need of home energy improvements and energy efficiency measures is challenging, time consuming, and often ineffective for local authorities, social housing providers utility companies and other organisations involved with decarbonising housing.Our solution is the Fairer Warmth App that will provide a dynamic, digital interface between households and organisations (such as local authorities) who are wishing to support communities and gain insights into where strategic investments should be made.It will be used by households to access simple energy efficiency advice that can make their homes more comfortable and economic to run, quickly assess eligibility for grants, and target retrofit and home energy efficiency measures.It will be used by organisations such as local authorities, social housing providers and utility companies to more efficiently allocate loans and grants for household retrofit and to understand housing stock retrofit requirements in detail and at scale - supporting the development of Local Area Energy Plans (LAEPs)The Fairer Warmth App will deliver a range of societal impacts that include:* Enable those households struggling with bills to make their homes more energy efficient and enable organisations to allocate funds to those most in need.* Help pull many households out of fuel poverty -- contributing towards saving £500 million a year for the NHS (LGA,2022), and engage people in the decarbonisation agenda.* Reducing public sector spending on community outreach associated with finding the people in most need of retrofit.* Speed up the pace of retrofit and energy efficiency measures.* A significant impact on Net Zero, reducing overall energy use -- saving both gas and electricity.* Help people keep their homes warms, reducing the associated health impacts.In summary, if adopted widely, the Fairer Warmth App could have a transformational impact and be a key facilitator for net zero and self-driven health improvements throughout the UK.
