NUFIS - Natural Under-Floor Insulation System

SHS是一家能源咨询机构，根据ECO计划提供了15,000次评估和能源效率干预（约120,000吨二氧化碳减排），并开发了创新的改造解决方案。在过去的5年里，我们在能源效率行业工作，发现了一个巨大的未开发的机会：家庭空间供暖占目前温室气体排放量的15%。高达25%的家庭热量损失是通过底层流失的（Pelsmakers, 2016）——这影响了英国650万户家庭（EHS, 2012）。由于a)前期成本高（4- 5000英镑），传统的地板隔热材料尚未普及；B)高干扰（3-4周）；C)缺乏合适的保温产品。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一种创新的、低成本的“自然地板下保温系统”（“NUFIS”），它：i)消除了结构破坏；Ii)通过加快安装速度来降低成本；iii)采用天然、环保的保温材料；使地板下隔热材料进入大众市场。

SHS is an energy advisory organisation that has delivered 15,000 assessments and energy efficiencyinterventions (~120,000 tCO2 savings) under the ECO scheme and has developed innovative retrofit solutions.Working in the energy efficiency industry over the last 5 years we identified a large untapped opportunity:Domestic space heating accounts for 15% of current GHG emissions. Up to 25% of a home’s heat loss exitsthrough the ground floor (Pelsmakers, 2016) – this affects 6.5 million homes in the UK (EHS, 2012). Traditionalfloor insulation has not become widespread due to the a) high upfront costs (£4-5k); b) high disruption (3-4weeks); c) lack of suitable thermal insulation product.To address this, we developed an innovative, low-cost "Natural Under-Floor Insulation System" ("NUFIS") that:i) eliminates structural disruption; ii) cuts costs by speeding up the installation; iii) uses nature-based, ECOfriendly thermal insulation material; and makes underfloor insulation accessible to the mass market.
