Notice Title

PS24113 - Testing Overheating Metrics for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

Notice Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the Crown Commercial Services RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. Brief Description of Requirement The focus of this project is to identify suitable metrics that can be applied to RdSAP inputs for EPCs and the existing data held on EPCs to form a baseline understanding of overheating risk in the present-day housing stock, and identifying a more detailed metric that could exploit the additional data HEM : EPC Inputs will offer in future. Key to this will be devising a metric for existing EPC's that will have some equivalency or means of comparison to the overheating metric to be calculated using HEM in future. By using monitoring data from real homes this project would also test the reliability of these metrics by comparing calculated overheating risk with observed propensity to overheat. This project will require: - A working understanding of EPC's, the involved data and surrounding context. - An awareness of SAP and HEM, and the inputs, outputs, and assumptions underlying these. - An understanding of overheating in homes, and existing guidance on this. - The capability to undertake advanced analytics, modelling and work with large data sets.
