Résumé

This paper describes the Nottingham Energy, Health and Housing Study, a project in which seven Nottingham City Council households subjected to either fuel poverty or heat poverty were refurbished to improve the internal environmental conditions and therefore the health of the occupants. The main aim was to provide improvements in ventilation, insulation, draught proofing and heating control. The results indicate that with a limited budget, significant improvements were realized in the comfort levels of the occupants and in their health. Modelling of the environmental conditions and energy consumption in each dwelling was carried out using the steady-state Condensation Targeter II model that can be used as an effective tool for selecting the most appropriate design modifications and evaluating impact in terms of energy efficiency and health.
