Bromford Flagship, a housing association, and Senze, a technology provider, with support from Lloyds, pilot tested the use of monitoring technology in a sample of 121 homes to measure actual thermal performance and compare this with modelled EPC data.
The Good Economy Partnership (TGE) was comissioned to provide an independent view on the expected environmental, social and economic impacts resulting from the pilot programme, and to consider the potential implications of wider adoption of this type of technology.
They found the average thermal performance gap, between measured and modelled performance, in the pilot study was 25%, with 11% of the pilot sample experiencing a level of heat loss which was more than double their modelled predictions.
