Description
(Text)
This book is an investigation into the implications that a warming climate has for the housing retrofit programme recently completed at Rushenden on the Isle of Sheppey that was the subject of the EU Interreg research project IFORE (Innovation for Renewal). The aim of this book is to inform UK public policy, social housing providers, architects, researchers and communities worldwide on social housing retrofit, as to whether we are pursuing the correct goal by retrofitting with insulation and air-tightness, a strategy to conserve heat, rather than one that would also combat summertime overheating. The community of Rushenden is used as a case study to develop a specific adaptation strategy for retrofitted social housing in the South-East of England. The role that insulation and air-tightness has in reducing or increasing the overheating risk and the analysis of a wide range of shading are explored using the following quantitative and qualitative research methods: dynamic thermal modelling incorporating future probabilistic weather files, adaptations questionnaire, three focus groups, a longitudinal comfort questionnaire and monitoring of internal and external temperatures.
