DEEP Report 1: Synthesis Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential

Summary

The UK faces a significant challenge in retrofitting solid walled homes to meet net-zero targets, as these properties are inefficient and pose various risks. The DEEP project, a major research initiative, investigated different retrofit approaches, particularly the 'whole house' method, across 14 case study homes to enhance safety and effectiveness. The research, now completed, provides critical insights into optimal retrofit strategies, demonstrating substantial heat loss reductions and highlighting areas where current energy models and risk assessments require improvement.
