- W3145839892 abstract "Owner-occupiers represent 63.1% of UK households (ONS, 2016); a key group tofocus attention on as a means to increase domestic energy efficiency rates (Risholtet al, 2013). The experiences of early-adopters of measures such as external wallinsulation within this group may affect the future adoption rates, through word-ofmouth referrals (McMichael & Shipworth, 2013). Householders’ are often willing totolerate disruption, but unexpected delays or complications can cause considerablestress (Vadodaria et al., 2010). Negative attitudes can develop towards arefurbishment experience due to technological faults or internal disputes leading toproblems with workmanship (Crosbie and Baker, 2010). These experiences can leadto dissatisfaction with the experience and potentially the refurbishment outcome interms of energy demand and living environment comfort. This study has followedten owner-occupied case study households through an energy efficiencyrefurbishment process. Householders’ were interviewed pre, during and postrefurbishment over a period of one year, with a focus on the expectations andexperiences of the refurbishment in terms of process and potential changes tothermal environment comfort and space heating energy demand. The interviewdata were triangulated with measurements of internal air temperature, air leakagetests and space heating energy use in addition to space heating energy modelling,using a version of the Standard Assessment Procedure (2009). The findings showthat in terms of refurbishment process, measures which installers’ have moreapparent experience in, such as combination boiler or window replacements havefew unexpected events and outcomes, whereas measures such as external wallinsulation and air leakage sealing can lead to refurbishment delays or dissatisfactionwith workmanship. Two households exceeded the 2050 target for an 80% reductionin CO2 emissions from space heating. Nine improved thermal environment comfortlevels, as supported by measurements. However the impact on householderperceptions of disruption and workmanship may affect future uptake. Policy andinstaller recommendations are made including the need for consistent policy andurgent improvements to installer customer service, energy efficiency expertise andskills." @default.
