This publication details a building performance evaluation of 10 retrofitted homes, carried out approximately 10 years after the original retrofit works. It aimed to gather lessons on retrofit and on BPE techniques.<\/p>\n<p>On retrofit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What has stood the test of time?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any new lessons on how to carry out retrofit projects?<\/li>\n<li>Topics of particular interest included (but were not limited to): energy demand, moisture, insulation options (moisture and combustibility), degradation of original solutions (e.g. airtightness).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On BPE techniques:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What can be learned in a relatively short and non-intrusive manner, from individual BPE techniques or packages of several techniques?<\/li>\n<li>Where are more specific or detailed BPE techniques useful? How can some BPE techniques being, or newly, developed help?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The sample of 10 homes was as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Six were part of the 2009 Retrofit for the Future programme. All were considered best practice or exemplar at the time, and employed a whole house &#8216;deep&#8217; retrofit approach.<\/li>\n<li>Six were pre-1919 properties.<\/li>\n<li>Nine were houses, one a flat.<\/li>\n<li>Some were tenanted from housing associations, others occupied by private owners.<\/li>\n<li>The insulation strategies and properties varied, with a mix of external, internal, and cavity insulation and of permeable and impermeable materials.<\/li>\n<li>Heating, hot water and ventilation systems were very varied across the sample.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A two-tiered BPE approach was followed, which is detailed fully within the publication.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cibse.org\/knowledge-research\/knowledge-portal\/retrofit-revisit-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more and download the publication<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) document \u2018Retrofit Revisit\u2019 is a building performance evaluation project to inform the UK\u2019s approach to improving our housing stock and contribute to our net zero objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[6,17,18,30,23,9,29,16,22],"class_list":["post-41209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog","tag-building","tag-climate-change","tag-conservation","tag-environment","tag-expertise","tag-government","tag-heritage","tag-planning","tag-skills"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41210,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41209\/revisions\/41210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
