  abstract

  One of the objectives of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential (DEEP) Retrofit Project was to investigate the unintended consequences of fabric retrofit. The primary objective of the Energy House DEEP fabric performance tests was to assess the potential benefits of a whole house approach to retrofit against 'typical' retrofit practice that follows a piecemeal approach. The research involved in performing a staged whole house fabric retrofit of the Energy House that replicated a piecemeal retrofit. The Energy House's thermal elements were then adapted to be representative of a retrofit that had been performed following whole house approach retrofit principles. Fabric thermal performance testing took place at each stage of the retrofit process to assess the benefit and unintended consequences of applying retrofit measures individually and in combination.
