2010-10-04 Workshop on Existing Housing – Creating a Roadmap to 2050
EEPH together with the BIS Construction Sector IGT for Housing was working on the production of a road map outlining how technologies and markets can deliver energy efficiency and carbon savings in the existing housing stock by 2050. The road map will be based on information already available pertaining to energy and carbon savings in UK homes together with feedback from key industry and Government personnel. The Partnership facilitated a stakeholder workshop during the roadmap development process. A research report was produced which summarises relevant background evidence in the public domain relating to the UK housing stock and energy efficient measures. The first draft was provided to attendees of the workshop, and further refined following feedback after the workshop from stakeholders. The focus of the research is existing housing and a key basis for the research has been an analysis of the UK housing stock in terms of numbers, type of dwelling, age, and tenure. The research also assesses the penetration, trends and forecasts for a number of energy measures, and examines a number of key perspectives.

2011-03-17 Workshop on Vulnerable and Low Income households – Event Report
The aim of this event was to understand how vulnerable and low income households might interact with the Green Deal (GD), including how they might be viewed by GD providers; and to identify ways of ensuring that they stand to benefit appropriately and proportionately from energy efficiency measures through the Green Deal and the new Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Topics discussed included access and eligibility, data availability, relation of GD and ECO, and a range of issues regarding effective delivery.
2011-07-15 Green Deal Warranties & Guarantees workshop This workshop and accompanying desk research intended to examine the possible approaches to ensuring customer protection under the Green Deal (GD) programme. The existing warranty, guarantee and service contract services would not necessarily cover the operational lifetime of all products eligible for GD, and/or may require regular servicing or inspections for continued cover across the lifetime of a measure, at potentially significant additional costs. There are also very few products which will guarantee the quality of installation over a long period. Consumer protection of both existing and future property occupants will be key to the continued success of GD. The challenge was how best to provide customers with assurance while not adding disproportionate costs to all Green Deal Plans.

Review of the delivery tools used to improve hard-to-treat homes (February 2010)
In this report, the Partnership has published the findings of a piece of research carried out by the Association for the Conservation of Energy (ACE) into the delivery of energy efficiency improvements into hard-to-treat homes. The report outlines a detailed raft of recommendations revolving around the
Page 44 of 60
need to mainstream the more expensive measures that are used to treat hard-to-treat homes. The report also reveals the need to place more emphasis on insulation measures and urgently address the current situation in which the fuel poor living in hard-to-treat homes are paying for energy efficiency schemes but are not benefiting from the most appropriate improvements to their homes.
A Database of 72 case studies has been compiled alongside the report, providing an evidence base of different projects that have focussed measures on a range of typically hard-to-treat property types.

Green Mortgages
Several lenders have launched green mortgages, which help customers to access finance for sustainable energy improvements to their property. This follows an announcement from Chancellor Gordon Brown in the March 2007 budget (see point 7.68, page 182) encouraging the finance industry to open up new markets by creating special green mortgages and loans to help finance improvements in the energy rating of their customers' homes. (Also see article in the Observer of 25 March 2007)
The Partnership’s Home Purchase and Finance Group, who have taken a leading role in supporting the development of this market, are encouraging mortgage lenders to ensure that any new products fit with the definition the group have agreed of a green mortgage. The EEPH 1-page definition “What is a green mortgage?” particularly emphasises that: Green mortgage products must incentivise the householder to buy or to work towards a high energy performing home (i.e. a mortgage that offsets the home’s carbon emissions through a carbon offset scheme doesn’t count). The mortgage or loan must have a competitive rate (i.e. it can’t be an expensive product launched as a Public Relations “green wash” exercise). The Secretariat of the EEPH has published a report which puts together discussions from the seminar in November which brought together most of the mortgage industry. It also includes extensive wider information of use to lenders who are thinking of developing these products.

Tackling fuel poverty using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System
The Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes (EEPH) commissioned research into how the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is being or could be used to help achieve carbon savings and a reduction in fuel poverty. The research found widely diverging usage of the HHSRS, with many local authorities failing to fulfil their legal duties. Main barriers included Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), lack of resources and confusion about how to assess Excess Cold and what measures to take to remove this category 1 hazard.

How can energy suppliers work with community organisations to improve the energy efficiency of existing homes?
This research was undertaken by the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) for the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes (EEPH) Local Delivery Group. It defines what is meant by a community group and identifies the benefits of involving community groups in delivery. The report describes a number of barriers which hamper effective working between community groups and energy suppliers, and outlines how these barriers could be addressed. It demonstrates the need for improved approaches to local partnership working, where both parties have greater clarity on each other’s aims, objectives, remit, resources and timelines, and suggests working with intermediaries such as local authorities. A number of useful case studies are also presented. The report is part of a bigger project by the SDC on integrating energy efficiency with other neighbourhood infrastructure upgrades, entitled “The Future is Local: Empowering Communities to Improve their Neighbourhoods”.

Microgeneration
Sept 2009
Microgen Strategy Pre-Consultation Final Report
On 12th July 2010, the Government announced a consultation on a new Microgeneration Strategy for England, on what role microgeneration can play in decarbonising the way we heat our homes and businesses, reducing the UK’s CO₂ emissions and contributing to our target of sourcing 20% of all EU energy from renewables by 2020.
Rather than follow recent practice and produce a document on which interested parties can comment, DECC invited those with the greatest knowledge and expertise in the field to contribute to the development of a draft strategy, which will then be widely consulted on later this year. Four working groups were set up, facilitated by the Partnership, to look at the key policy areas:
Quality: ensure consumers have confidence that equipment and installation is reliable and adheres to the highest standards
Technology: examine how to improve products through more trialling of technologies new to the UK
Skills: develop the microgeneration supply chain to ensure it is properly equipped with the right people to meet the expected rise in demand, as well as creating and sustaining jobs in the UK
Advice: provide more accessible advice and information about microgeneration to homeowners, communities and small businesses.
Each group met twice during August and September 2010 to discuss the priority issues for their topic area and to develop options for how these could be overcome by government and industry.
This report is the principal output of this first phase of the consultation process. It sets out the industry’s vision for microgeneration and then recommends what both government and industry need to do to make the vision a reality.

Achieving the energy standard of level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes without recourse to renewable energy
A workshop was convened by the Partnership on 22nd August 2007 to discuss technical issues in relation to achieving a 25 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to Building Regulations, equivalent to the energy standard of level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. This was attended by developer members as well as representatives from Government and other interested parties.
A key underlying theme was achieving the energy standard of level 3 without recourse to renewable technologies. Guidance from the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Efficiency Best Practice in Housing programme indicates this can be done by focusing on building fabric issues such as air permeability.
Key recommendations include a review of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) 2005; communicating the zero carbon homes agenda more effectively; funding research; developing skills; and developing an overall delivery plan.
The findings from the workshop plus desk research are collated in this report prepared by Impetus Consulting for the Partnership’s New Build Group.

New Finance Mechanisms for housing
The study, commissioned by the EEPH Social Housing Group, demonstrates how it could be financially viable to deliver emission reductions of 30% by 2020, 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050 against a 2013 baseline. This would be through a comprehensive refurbishment package that includes various energy efficiency measures such as double glazing and heating controls; and selected low carbon technologies such as heat pumps. Further cost-effective savings can be delivered through additional electrical microgeneration such as solar PV. The analysis demonstrates there are three different investment types – renewable electricity, low carbon heat and energy efficiency measures – with different risk profiles, optimum investment lengths and return potential. Together they can deliver significant, cost effective refurbishment projects across the housing stock.

Funding Retrofit via European Investment Bank
This work was commissioned jointly by the EEPH Social Housing Group and the National Housing Federation (NHF). It examines the potential for accessing funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB) to support low carbon refurbishment of social housing. In particular, it examines the immediate opportunities for using EIB funds to invest in solar photovoltaic installations so that registered providers (housing associations) can benefit directly from revenues associated with the Feed-in Tariff.
One of the aims of this work was to begin to understand how retrofit models in social housing can develop supply chain capacities for wider roll out. The report is a useful reference point for future analysis. The underlying modelling and stakeholder engagement has catalysed the potential development of sector-wide EIB investment.
