II.1.4) Short description
The aim of the Demonstration of energy efficiency potential (DEEP) project is to investigate taking a system-level approach to retrofit, considering the entire dwelling rather than the performance of individual measures. Typically defined as a ‘whole house’ approach, this appreciates the complex interactions between fabric, ventilation and the occupant.
This presents opportunities for:
— retrofit measures to contribute more effectively than if they were applied individually,
— reducing the risk of unintended consequences by considering system-level impact.
To evaluate the potential of whole house retrofit, BEIS requires evidence, through the DEEP project, to explore the limitations, risks and benefits. This evidence should be produced through a combination of measurement and modelling, and will be used to inform our future retrofit strategy.
For background information, the full specification and further information on this project, please see the ITT.
