Establishing 'state-of-the-art' practice in the deployment of solid-wall insulation on UK Buildings

Description

The aim of this work is to inform the design and implementation of built-environment innovation activity BEIS may launch in 2017. The project is divided into 2 Lots: Lot 1: Understanding best practice in deploying external solid-wall insulation in UK. The contractor will gather evidence of EWI best-practice in the UK by considering case-studies, and research and innovation work, and undertaking interviews with practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders. Lot 2: Understanding potential technological and process innovations to increase uptake of internal and external solid wall insulation. Drawing on a review of literature from the field of built-environment innovation, conversations with industry and academia, and other sources, the contractor will produce a report identifying how innovation might unlock greater take-up of IWI and EWI in the UK. This report is to inform further innovation work to both reduce the cost and improve the performance and consumer attractiveness of IWI and EWI. Additional information: This requirement was advertised via Lot 20 of the BEIS Energy Technical Specialist (ETS) framework
