PS24049 - Energy Efficiency Historical Successes

Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded as a direct award under the PS21174 - Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Framework. Brief Description of Requirement The UK has made significant strides in improving the energy efficiency of its domestic housing stock over the past 50 years in order to reduce its carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. However, as the worst performing tenure type compared to social rented and private rented homes (57% of owner-occupied homes in England fall below EPC band C ), enhancing the energy efficiency of the owner-occupied property sector remains a key challenge. As the UK seeks to increase the future rollout of domestic energy efficiency measures to reduce its carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty, evidence on the critical success factors (and barriers) to the consumer adoption of past energy efficiency measures in the owner-occupied space (e.g. double-glazing), and their application to the consumer take-up of future measures, remains scant and dispersed.
