University Project Retrofits UK Homes for Energy Efficiency Data Collection
A university project retrofits test houses representing UK homes from the 1920s to the 2010s using Wienerberger's Renatus solution. The initiative, in partnership with BRE, aims to generate performance data over two years, monitoring energy efficiency and comfort levels. Each house features upgrades like air-source heat pumps and is equipped with sensors to track environmental metrics. Initial results show significant EPC improvements, with the 1920s home upgraded from D to A and the others from C to B ratings.

The university project retrofits three test houses on its Liverpool campus, representing typical UK homes from the 1920s, 1970s, and 2010s, using Wienerberger's Renatus retrofit solution. The initiative, in partnership with BRE, will monitor these properties for two years to gather data on energy efficiency, comfort, and costs.
Each house has been retrofitted with upgrades, including heat pumps, and features sensors for tracking air quality and other factors. Initial energy performance data shows improvements, with EPC ratings for the 1920s house moving from D to A and the others from C to B. This project aims to demonstrate effective retrofitting with minimal disruption to residents.
