## Summary

The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy is conducting an open tender titled "Measuring Energy Performance Improvements in Dwellings Using Thin Internal Wall Insulation." This procurement process is aimed at addressing challenges associated with Solid Wall Insulation through innovative Thin Internal Wall Insulation solutions. The tender is currently in the active stage and will close on 14 August 2017. The project involves research and development services within the UK and could lead to energy-saving advancements in residential settings.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in energy efficiency, insulation solutions, and research services related to building performance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this tender particularly suitable as it aims to improve the uptake of insulation technology in residential properties. By leveraging their expertise in innovative insulation and energy assessment, competing businesses can not only contribute to sustainable development but also expand their market presence in the growing energy efficiency sector.

## Notice

There are significant barriers to uptake with conventional Solid Wall Insulation (SWI), such as installation cost, risks of cold bridging, loss of internal space if using internal SWI amongst others. Thin Internal Wall Insulation (TIWI) could be a potential solution where conventional internal SWI is not a viable option. TIWI will likely not be as effective as conventional SWI in terms of energy saving potential. However, it is thought the above SWI barriers to uptake may be significantly mitigated with TIWI, resulting in much higher take-up and subsequent carbon savings. It is proposed to use an unoccupied test home with measured thermal efficiency characteristics in its uninsulated state. Following multiple TIWI retrofits, the contractor will reassess the thermal characteristics of the property, thus quantifying the effectiveness of TIWI products. Subsequently a conventional internal SWI retrofit will then be undertaken to establish the comparable energy savings.
