Open access data that can inform retrofit….

I hope to use this page to encourage open discussion and collaboration towards open retrofit evaluation.

Here is my first share, a sort of catalogue of various data that could inform retrofit. Please suggest more!

  • REFIT 20 core homes Academic Survey data Gas consumption, electrical load measurements, internal air temperature, local climate data and sensor measurements One survey (1,054 households), Semi-structured interviews and one structured survey on perceptions of smart homes

  • Mixed data on household energy and occupant behaviour LEEDR 20 households: building survey data, images, appliances, sensor location and calibration Window and door opening, electrical power measurement of incoming supply and appliances, gas and hot water consumption Window and door opening, Passive Infra-Red room activity monitoring, data processing procedures for all data

  • National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework NEED UK wide Government Building attribute data (from Valuation Office Agency and Scottish Assessor) Matches gas and electricity data (from Energy suppliers and transporters) with energy efficiency measures installed (from HEED and policy measures) Household characteristics (from Experian) and socio-demographics (Government data) Government-led overview

  • Home Energy Efficiency Data HEED UK wide Government Property characteristic and insulation measures installed Heating systems and micro-generations installed – Universities, Government and non-profit organisations can access, but not householders

  • Gas consumption data Postcode level across UK Government postcode Gas consumption - Compare EPC and gas use data at postcode level

  • Energy Performance Certificate Individual property level: UK wide Government Archetype, fabric construction Heating system and micro-generations installed, estimates of gas and electricity use derived from BREDEM methodology

  • English Housing Survey (50 years of data) Housing circumstance, condition, energy efficiency Government Physical attributes Energy efficiency Household circumstance Data could be used to inform ‘property passport’ data via the Trustmark data warehouse (below)

  • Retrofit for The Future an Innovate UK project for 100 social homes Low Energy Building Database: case studies across UK Non-Government organisation Photographs (archetype, geometry, materials and age). Energy use, air-tightness, indoor temperature, for some householder perception and experience.

  • Data warehouse on retrofit and social network Trustmark Government led organisation Property passport data, measures installed Data required under PAS 2035 Installer compliance, supply chain overview, organisations and consumers can become early adopters

  • A list of data on energy consumption, fuel poverty and Open Data Collaboration Initiative, CSE Non-Government Organisation Links to Government shared data on energy consumption, efficiency and census All focused around energy consumption and efficiency Fuel poverty data Data can be accessed shared and discussed with CSE
