Insurance-backed warranty for whole life housing energy performance (I-LIFE)

I-Life项目正在寻求为建筑业开发一种新的保险产品。该产品将为终身能源性能保修提供保险支持。我们的工作重点是在社会或私营部门新建住房。该项目的主要挑战是开发准确预测使用性能并可转化为保险产品的能源预测算法。对能源性能差距的深入了解将是成功的关键。项目团队由具有建筑物理专业知识的中小企业Enraft领导，主要项目合作伙伴包括：拥有全寿命成本分析专业知识的保险提供商BLP；专门从事建筑性能评估和提高能源性能的社会技术方法的牛津布鲁克斯大学；以及提供潜在市场途径的量产房屋建造商Willmott Dixon。该项目将从2015年9月起运行30个月，并将包括12个月的试点测试阶段。调查结果将通过行业网络、活动和发表的论文广泛传播。财务汇总表-如何完成这一部分

The I-LIFE project is seeking to develop a new insurance product for the construction industry. The product will give insurance backing to a warranty for whole life energy performance. The focus of our work is on new build housing in the social or private sector. The primary challenge for the project is to develop energy prediction algorithms which accurately predict performance in use and can be translated into an insurance product.Developing a deep understanding of the energy performance gap will be critical to success.The project team is led by Encraft, an SME with expertise in building physics and the main project partners include; BLP, an insurance provider with expertise in whole life costing analysis; Oxford Brookes University who specialise in building performance evaluation and socio-technical approaches to enhancing energy performance; and Willmott Dixon, a volume housebuilder providing a potential route to market. The project will run for 30 months from September 2015 and will include a 12 month pilot testing phase. Findings will be widely disseminated through industry networks, events and published papers.Finance Summary Table – How to complete this section
