The Fairer Warmth App

到2030年，家庭能源改进每年可以从家庭能源账单中节省7.7亿GB，并为NHS每年节省5亿GB(LGA，2022)。但是，对于地方政府、社会住房提供商、公用事业公司和其他参与房屋脱碳的组织来说，识别并支持最需要家庭能源改善和能效措施的人具有挑战性、耗时，而且往往无效。我们的解决方案是更公平的温暖应用，它将在希望支持社区的家庭和组织(如地方政府)之间提供一个动态的数字界面，并洞察应该在哪里进行战略投资。家庭将使用它来获取简单的能效建议，这些建议可以让他们的房屋运行更舒适、更经济，并快速评估拨款资格。并针对翻新和家庭能效措施。地方当局、社会住房提供商和公用事业公司等组织将使用它来更有效地分配家庭翻新贷款和赠款，并详细和大规模地了解住房存量翻新需求-支持本地能源计划(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：*使那些为账单而苦苦挣扎的家庭提高家庭能效，并使组织能够将资金分配给最有需要的人。*帮助许多家庭摆脱燃料贫困--为每年为NHS节省5亿GB做出贡献(LGA，2022)，并让人们参与到脱碳议程中来。*减少公共部门在社区推广方面的支出，这与寻找最需要翻新的人有关。*加快翻新和能效措施的步伐。*对净零值的重大影响，减少总体能源消耗--节省天然气和电力。*帮助人们取暖，减少相关的健康影响。总而言之，如果被广泛采用，更公平的温暖应用程序可能会产生变革的影响，并成为整个英国净零和自我驱动的健康改善的关键促进者。

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.
