  • 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.

Background Purpose of the report This study on public attitudes to, and engagement with, low-carbon energy draws together the results of UK-relevant social research and evidence, as of October 2010, in order to inform the RCUK Energy Programme at both strategic and operational levels. Our sources were identified through a systematic search of bibliographic databases and a formal call for evidence issued to practitioners and academics in order to identify non-academic (‘grey’) sources and forthcoming academic publications. The authors are all active in energy social science research. Overview of the report The report provides an introduction to some of the most relevant social science theory and concepts relating to public engagement (chapter 3), before reviewing findings on attitudes and engagement relating to energy supply, storage and distribution technologies (chapter 4); energy demand attitudes and engagement (chapter 5); and energy systems and research engagement (chapter 6).
