Housing significantly impacts health and well-being, especially for people with special needs, such as the elderly, those with disabilities, and individuals living in care houses and council homes. Sub-standard housing contributes to health inequalities, while good housing can delay or reduce the need for health and care services, enabling independence and well-being.Research shows that 7.7 million households in England encounter housing problems, with 13% experiencing multiple issues. Non-decent homes account for 17%, with the private rented sector having the highest proportion at 23%. Poor housing costs the NHS an estimated £1.4billion annually.To address above challenges and in line with the UK government's goal of achieving a NetZero economy by 2050, Chamberlains Aqua Limited Systems(CASL) has developed an innovative energy and water assessment scheme named "NetZeroPass": **'Net Zero** **P**eople-Centred Energy **a**nd Water A**ss**essment Scheme.' This accurate and reliable scheme addresses existing assessment scheme limitations, offering comprehensive analysis with specialised testing equipment. CASL proposes incorporating behaviour-based surveys to identify people-based solutions alongside technology-oriented ones. The current NetZeroPass process requires several hours of data gathering, calculation and analysis. To make the scheme more financially affordable and to shorten the assessment time, CASL proposes to develop a web-based application empowered by Advanced Machine Learning (AML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Leveraging IoT, the application can automate tasks, providing substantial benefits to individuals with disabilities. The upgraded NetZeroPass scheme can support NHS by reducing costs associated with health issues resulting from poor housing, and aid housing associations in making more informed, NetZero-oriented decisions.The project's objectives include a feasibility study to upgrade the NetZeroPass scheme and develop the web-based tool, ensuring practicality, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with Net Zero goals while catering to social housing and individuals with special needs.CASL's project partner, Microlink PC, is a reputable company with 30 years of experience in assistive solutions and technologies. They have positively impacted over a quarter of a million people with health conditions, improving their living conditions and enhancing educational and employment opportunities. Microlink's expertise in assisting individuals with diverse special needs makes them a valuable asset in developing people-based solutions for the project.This collaboration empowers vulnerable individuals, setting a role model for broader groups, aligned with NetZero Carbon and NetZero Water goals. The upgraded assessment scheme revolutionizes housing assessments, providing improved living conditions, energy and water savings, and a path towards a NetZero Carbon and NetZero Water future.

住房对健康和福祉有重大影响，特别是对有特殊需要的人，如老年人、残疾人以及生活在养老院和理事会之家的人。低于标准的住房导致健康不平等，而良好的住房可以延迟或减少对医疗和护理服务的需求，从而实现独立和福祉。研究表明，英格兰有770万家庭遇到住房问题，其中13%的家庭遇到多种问题。不体面的住房占17%，其中私人租赁部门的比例最高，为23%。为了应对上述挑战，并与英国政府到2050年实现净零经济的目标保持一致，Chamberlains Aqua Limited Systems（CASL）开发了一个名为“NetZeroPass”的创新能源和水评估计划：净零能源和水评估计划。“这一准确可靠的方案解决了现有评估方案的局限性，通过专门的测试设备提供全面的分析。CASL建议结合基于行为的调查，以确定以人为本的解决方案以及面向技术的解决方案。目前的NetZeroPass流程需要数小时的数据收集、计算和分析。为了使该计划在财务上更实惠并缩短评估时间，CASL建议开发一个基于Web的应用程序，该应用程序由高级机器学习（AML），人工智能（AI）和物联网（IoT）授权。利用物联网，该应用程序可以自动执行任务，为残疾人提供实质性的好处。升级后的NetZeroPass计划可以通过降低与住房条件差导致的健康问题相关的成本来支持NHS，并帮助住房协会做出更明智的、面向NetZeroPass的决定。该项目的目标包括进行可行性研究，以升级NetZeroPass计划并开发基于网络的工具，确保实用性、成本效益、CASL的项目合作伙伴Microlink PC是一家在辅助解决方案和技术方面拥有30年经验的知名公司。它们对25万多人的健康状况产生了积极影响，改善了他们的生活条件，增加了教育和就业机会。Microlink在帮助有不同特殊需求的个人方面的专业知识使他们成为为该项目开发以人为本的解决方案的宝贵资产。这种合作赋予弱势个体权力，为更广泛的群体树立榜样，与NetZero Carbon和NetZero Water目标保持一致。升级后的评估计划彻底改变了住房评估，改善了生活条件，节约了能源和水资源，并开辟了一条通往净零碳和净零水未来的道路。
