The Good Homes Alliance, a group of developers, academics and other professionals, has measured the fabric performance and heat loss of four energy efficient homes after construction. This study, backed by the Energy Saving Trust and the Department for Communities and Local Government, found all four buildings had a heat loss of 14 per cent higher than designed, although they all performed better than the building regulations design targets they were required to meet at the time of planning approval. The GHA makes a number of recommendations, including: The house building industry undertakes fabric heat loss testing of a sample of all new homes built; the government should encourage and incentivise the industry to gather evidence about the fabric performance of new homes; and the government works with the industry to develop a national feedback and learning programme, including training around heat loss.
