Abstract

This research explores the installation and commissioning performance issues within the social housing sector, with the goal to improve and develop new practice for low carbon homes. The research uses the exploration of the existing literature and practice to investigate installation and commissioning performance within mass low carbon housing. The approach is explored through stakeholder surveys and site observations and interventions utilising mixed methods with the action research methodology. The research findings demonstrate that a structured and mutually agreed monitoring process within a ‘real world’ learning environment, can contribute to the reduction of energy and carbon emissions through the installation and commissioning process. The research has highlighted, from the practitioner perspective, the elements of change required to effect sustained improvement. In highlighting these changes, the research has indicated the barriers that exist to the change process, and in no way underestimates, the level of challenge required for change to be enacted.
