Fast tracking Low Energy Use

项目摘要

Almost a third of the total energy use in the UK is attributed to the energy used in homes. The materials, products and technologies necessary to retrofit a dwelling and achieve a substantial reduction in energy use are readily available on the market. The reduction in energy use in dwellings and the associated reduction in carbon emissions can help to stabilise the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere, reduce its influence on climate change, and mitigate potentially disastrous and irreversible changes in the environment. Retrofit aimed to reduce energy use in homes can also bring numerous benefits to the occupants, ranging from energy savings to the improved thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Despite these obvious benefits of low-energy retrofit, as well as various governmental policies and incentives aimed to encourage it, the rate of such retrofit remains persistently low, even when it concerns cost-beneficial measures. During my PhD I investigated how UK homeowners can be encouraged to carry out low-energy retrofit. The analysis yielded a set of interesting results: (i) Governmental building policy primarily focuses on the techno-economic aspects of achieving energy savings, and ignores the complex emotional, personal and socially-bound context of one's home, where retrofit decisions are made. (ii) Building research and policy tend to portray retrofit decisions as taking place at a given point in time, when homeowners weigh the benefits and costs of different options. In reality, such decisions take time to develop and mature, and there might be several points in time when such decision processes can be influenced. The insights from my PhD move towards addressing these fundamental challenges. The work to convert the PhD research insights into policy suggestions has started, but there is the potential to further engage with representatives from governmental and non-governmental organisations to ground the work in the political and practical context of the UK. I plan to collaborate and engage in knowledge exchange with a number of relevant experts from a variety of organisations. These range from governmental organisations to construction supply chain businesses and various intermediary organisations operating to advance change towards sustainability. The collaboration will allow the research to benefit from the practical and on-the-ground knowledge of relevant experts and, thus, make it relevant and useful in the real world. The outputs and insights from the research and collaborative activities, if well received, will be of use to relevant organisations, have a higher chance to be adopted in relevant activities of these organisations and, consequently, have an effect on what people are doing with their homes when they retrofit them.The project anticipates the following outcome: useful and well-formulated policies to encourage adoption of low-energy home retrofit among UK homeowners, grounded in sound qualitative analysis and shaped by the expert feedback from governmental and non-governmental actors. Results will be visualised and presented in a way that is relevant and accessible to a number of different audiences: (i) academic researchers; (ii) policy actors such as the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS); and (iii) non-governmental actors who operate to advance change towards sustainability in the housing sector, such as National Energy Foundation (NEF) or Energy Saving Trust (EST).

英国近三分之一的能源消耗来自家庭能源。改造住宅和大幅减少能源使用所需的材料、产品和技术在市场上很容易获得。减少住宅的能源使用和相关的碳排放量的减少有助于稳定大气中的碳浓度，减少其对气候变化的影响，并减轻环境中潜在的灾难性和不可逆转的变化。旨在减少家庭能源使用的改造也可以为居住者带来许多好处，从节省能源到改善热舒适度和室内空气质量。尽管低能耗改造有这些明显的好处，政府也有各种鼓励低能耗改造的政策和奖励措施，但这种改造的比率仍然很低，即使是在涉及成本效益措施时。在我的博士期间，我调查了如何鼓励英国房主进行低能耗改造。分析产生了一系列有趣的结果：（一）政府建筑政策主要侧重于实现节能的技术经济方面，而忽视了一个人的家庭复杂的情感，个人和社会约束的背景下，改造的决定。(ii)建筑研究和政策倾向于将改造决策描述为发生在一个给定的时间点，当房主权衡不同选择的利益和成本时。实际上，这些决策需要时间来发展和成熟，并且可能有几个时间点可以影响这些决策过程。从我的博士学位的见解走向解决这些根本的挑战。将博士研究见解转化为政策建议的工作已经开始，但有可能进一步与政府和非政府组织的代表接触，以将工作置于英国的政治和实际背景下。我计划与来自各种组织的一些相关专家合作并进行知识交流。这些组织包括政府组织、建筑供应链企业和各种中介组织，旨在推动可持续发展。这种合作将使研究工作受益于相关专家的实际和实地知识，从而使其在真实的世界中具有相关性和实用性。研究和合作活动的成果和见解如果受到欢迎，将对相关机构有用，并有更大的机会被这些机构的相关活动采用，从而影响人们在装修房屋时对房屋的处理方式。该项目预计会产生以下结果：制定有用和完善的政策，鼓励英国房主采用低能耗的房屋改造，以合理的定性分析为基础，并根据政府和非政府行为者的专家反馈意见制定。结果将以一种相关和可供不同受众使用的方式可视化和呈现：（i）学术研究人员;（ii）政策行为者，如商业，能源和工业战略部（BEIS）;以及（iii）致力于推动住房部门可持续性变革的非政府行为者，如国家能源基金会（NEF）或节能信托基金会（EST）。
