Case Studies
Section 4: Case Studies Section 4: Case Studies 18 case studies have been identified in the East Midlands – information on the following are set out below: Sustainable housing in the East Midlands - 119 Section 4: Case Studies Albert Hall Memorial Housing, Coalville Location Coalville, Leicestershire Type of Area Suburban Tenure Social housing rental Built Form Detached bungalow Contact Name East Midlands Housing Association Phone / e-mail (01530) 839091 Summary The development consists of seven dwellings incorporating elements of passive solar design, high levels of insulation and mechanical heat recovery ventilation. It was designed and built by the East Midlands Housing Association for older clients. Extensive monitoring and analysis was carried out by the Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU) as part of the project, and much of the information presented here draws on this report. The project demonstrates how more attention and research at the design stage can enhance the benefits that may be derived from such energy saving features. It also shows how the perspectives of success or failure of a design differ between building professionals and residents. Project Objectives To create a high-quality flagship sheltered housing development for older people that is highly energy efficient and incorporates the principles of passive solar design. History of Concept The development, which was constructed in 1990, consists of seven dwellings (three two bedroom and four one bedroom bungalows) and is a memorial to a former member of the housing association, Albert Hall. The association wanted an energy efficient scheme that used electricity as its main heat source. The energy consultants decided on a highly insulated design with controlled ventilation that would meet the regional electricity company’s Civic Shield 2000 standard. -

The Affordable Warmth Strategy for Northampton Borough Council 2011 - 2014
Growing Together Neighbourhood Plan - Evidence Document 2: Affordable Warmth Strategy 2011-2014 Affordable Warmth Strategy 2011 – 2013 - 1 - The Affordable Warmth Strategy for Northampton Borough Council 2011 - 2014 Affordable Warmth Strategy 2011 – 2013 - 2 - Contents Executive Summary Foreword What is affordable warmth Affordable Warmth in Northampton Where are we now? What information have we used to inform this strategy development? Strategy Key Priorities and Actions Appendices References Glossary Affordable Warmth Strategy 2011 – 2013 - 3 - Executive Summary This strategy describes our approach to helping households in fuel poverty achieve affordable warmth. A household is considered to be in fuel poverty if it needs to spend more than 10% of its income on fuel to maintain an adequate level of warmth. The links between ill health, poor housing and fuel poverty are well documented.1 The Bank of England commented in May 2011 that gas prices could rise by 15% later this year, and electricity by 10%. Centrica, the owner of British Gas, has predicted that the wholesale cost of gas could go up by 25% this winter (2011), confirming that the Bank of England's predictions may well be realised. Britain's big six energy suppliers have increased their domestic gas and electricity prices in 2011 by 5.4pc or £65, with the typical annual household energy bill shooting up to an average of £1,250 as a result.2 Energyhelpline.com suggest that England’s average household energy bill for last winter rose to £453 per quarter.3 They attribute this in part to the extreme cold temperatures. This has meant that, nationally, more than a million households have been pushed into fuel poverty over the last 12 months.
