Details

The aim of the DEEP project is to investigate taking a system-level approach to retrofit, considering the entire dwelling rather than the performance of individual measures. Typically defined as a ‘whole-house’ approach, this appreciates the complex interactions between fabric, ventilation and the occupant.

The literature review summarises the existing knowledge in this field and provides the evidence to justify the research strategy adopted in fulfilling the objectives of the project.
