Aims and Objectives This study aims to explore whether the policy aims of decarbonising heat and reducing fuel poverty are compatible by studying the impact of heat decarbonisation on tenants living in the social rented sector. This longitudinal comparative study will explore the pre-, during and post-installation stages of heat decarbonisation in two retrofit social housing projects. The heat decarbonisation process, from initial decision making to post-installation results, will be explored through an energy justice lens.In pursuing the above aim, the research will address the following questions:To what extent were tensions between climate change and fuel poverty policy identified by stakeholders and households during the policy and project formulation, implementation, and post-implementation periods?What factors did social landlords consider when selecting properties and specifying technologies for retrofit heat decarbonisation projects?What were households' perceptions of their roles in the decision-making process and the information provided to aid decision-making? To what extent were households' fuel bills, and likelihood of experiencing fuel poverty, affected by the change to zero or low carbon heating?To what extent did thermal comfort perception and behaviour towards household energy use change following low carbon intervention(s), and was any change impacted by landlord support? To what extent were the impacts of heat decarbonisation distributed fairly between households within the social rented sector?MethodsThis research will take a comparative case study approach of two retrofit heat decarbonisation projects being carried out by Scottish social landlords, using mixed methods. It is intended to include:Documentary analysis of how decisions to implement decarbonised heat schemes were reached, and were communicated to householdsObservation at consultation meetings and eventsSemi-structured interviews with resident households, pre- and post-interventionTemperature monitoring, pre- and post-interventionAnalysis of fuel bills and energy usage, pre- and post-interventionInterviews with key stakeholders, including landlords and policymakers.OutputsIt is anticipated that the research will produce a full thesis of approximately 80-100,000 words, and may also result in a number of other outputs including: seminar and conference presentations; articles in academic journals; briefing notes for policymaker and practitioner audiences. Copies of all outputs will be provided to the Energy Agency.

目的与目标本研究旨在通过研究供热脱碳对居住在社会租赁部门的租户的影响，探讨供热脱碳和减少燃料贫困的政策目标是否兼容。这项纵向比较研究将探讨两个改造社会住房项目中热脱碳的安装前、安装中和安装后阶段。从最初的决策到安装后的结果，热脱碳过程将通过能源正义透镜进行探索。在追求上述目标的过程中，研究将解决以下问题：在政策和项目制定，实施和实施后期间，利益相关者和家庭在多大程度上确定了气候变化和燃料贫困政策之间的紧张关系？社会业主在选择物业和指定改造热脱碳项目的技术时考虑了哪些因素？家庭对其在决策过程中的作用以及为协助决策而提供的信息有何看法？家庭的燃料账单以及经历燃料贫困的可能性在多大程度上受到零或低碳供暖的影响？在低碳干预后，对家庭能源使用的热舒适感知和行为发生了多大程度的变化，房东的支持是否影响了任何变化？热脱碳的影响在多大程度上在社会租赁部门的家庭之间公平分配？MethodsThis研究将采取两个改造热脱碳项目正在进行的苏格兰社会房东，使用混合方法的比较案例研究方法。它的目的是包括：如何决定实施脱碳供热计划达成的文件分析，并传达给住户在咨询会议和活动的观察居民家庭的半结构化访谈，干预前后温度监测，干预前后燃料账单和能源使用分析，干预前后与主要利益相关者的访谈，包括房东和政策制定者。在学术期刊上发表文章;为决策者和从业人员编写的简报。所有产出的副本将提供给能源机构。
