We know that cold houses [increase mortality and respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity][0], while poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) further affects the health outcomes of occupants, [particularly those related to Covid-19][1]. With the social and economic impacts of Covid-19 leading to changing patterns of domestic housing use, now more than ever the question of the quality of the UK's housing stock is one of inequality and social justice. Currently, there is little to no verification of the thermal efficiency or of the IAQ performance of dwellings as-built. Lax standards and poor inspection by contractors often mean real performance of new housing and deep energy efficiency retrofits is not what was promised, but no data on where the problems are means housing managers don't know where to focus attention. Guru Reside will solve these problems by providing landlords real-time visibility and intelligent risk alerting on the thermal and IAQ performance of their properties. This will enable them to take a preventative approach to the maintenance of their building stock, predicting issues such as mould formation before they occur, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring any interventions deliver the results they promised, all the while improving the health outcomes of residents. The project will utilise Guru's new hardware, the Hub III Core, that enables the integration of third-party hardware and sensors into Guru's existing network and data infrastructure on residential sites. This in turn allows us to provide our clients with additional tools to monitor and manage their dwellings using this existing infrastructure reducing the investment needed. Leading the project, Guru Systems delivers market-leading hardware and data analytics platforms for heat networks, improving performance for developers, heat suppliers and customers. Guru is joined by Fairheat, who bring their expertise on heating systems, and The Monomoy Company providing expertise around IAQ analysis and sensor technology. Heat networks are of particular interest to the question of thermal efficiency and IAQ. As a fundamental part of the UK's strategy to meet the decarbonisation target, the proportion of UK heating delivered over heat networks is projected to rise from 2% to 20% by 2050\. Guru Reside will improve the IAQ and thermal efficiency of dwellings by bringing together a team of experts to develop a low cost, data-driven solution to manage the performance of the dwellings under their management that leverages Guru's existing expertise, technology platform and client base.

我们知道，冷藏室[增加死亡率以及呼吸系统和心血管疾病的发病率][0]，而糟糕的室内空气质量进一步影响居住者的健康结果，[特别是与新冠肺炎相关的][1]。随着新冠肺炎的社会和经济影响导致国内住房使用模式的改变，英国住房存量的质量问题现在比以往任何时候都更多地涉及不平等和社会公平。目前，很少或根本没有对建成住宅的热效率或室内空气质量性能进行核实。松懈的标准和承包商糟糕的检查往往意味着新住房的真实表现和深度能效改造不是承诺的那样，但没有关于问题所在的数据意味着住房管理人员不知道将注意力集中在哪里。Guru Reside将通过为房东提供实时可见性和智能风险警报来解决这些问题，以了解其物业的热性能和室内空气质量表现。这将使他们能够采取预防性的方法来维护其建筑库存，在霉菌形成等问题发生之前进行预测，降低维护成本，并确保任何干预措施都能达到他们承诺的结果，同时改善居民的健康状况。该项目将利用Guru的新硬件Hub III Core，该硬件能够将第三方硬件和传感器集成到Guru现有的网络和住宅站点的数据基础设施中。这反过来又允许我们为我们的客户提供额外的工具，使用现有的基础设施来监控和管理他们的住所，减少所需的投资。领导该项目的Guru Systems为供热网络提供市场领先的硬件和数据分析平台，为开发商、供热供应商和客户提高性能。与古鲁一起工作的还有费尔霍特，他们带来了供暖系统方面的专业知识，以及Monomoy公司，他们提供有关室内空气质量分析和传感器技术的专业知识。热网对于热效率和室内空气品质的问题特别重要。作为英国实现脱碳目标的战略的基本组成部分，预计到2050年，英国通过热网输送的供暖比例将从2%上升到20%。古鲁住宅将通过汇集专家团队来开发低成本、数据驱动的解决方案，以利用古鲁现有的专业知识、技术平台和客户基础来管理他们管理的住宅的性能，从而提高住宅的室内空气质量和热效率。[0]：https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK535294/[1]：https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/climate/climate-pollution-coronavirus-lungs.html
