abstract
Beneath about a quarter of the cities and countryside across the UK sits the potentially huge energy resource of heat held in water which has filled the nation's disused coal mines: mine water geothermal heat (MWGH).

[[**UF] Quote: "... the building envelope retrofit interventions have a small reduction of 23% to 21 % when all interventions are included against the baseline value pre-retrofit stage. However, the change to a low- carbon heating system has the potential to reduce energy demand by >100% without considering building envelope retrofits. Including building envelope retrofits, this can reduce further by between 111% to 118% depending on the heat pump used." Quote: "This study highlights the importance of occupant comfort and well-being in building retrofitting, often overlooked in favour of solely focusing on energy efficiency."]
