The EEPH has now published the findings of a piece of research carried out by The Association for the Conservation of Energy into the delivery of energy efficiency improvements into hard to treat homes.

The report outlines a detailed raft of recommendations arising from the research which centre around the need to mainstream the more expensive measures that are used to treat hard to treat homes.

The report also reveals the need to place more emphasis on insulation measures and urgently address the current situation in which the fuel poor living in hard to treat homes are paying for energy efficiency schemes but are not benefiting from the most appropriate improvements to their homes.

Alongside this a database of 72 case studies has been compiled which provides a useful evidence base of different projects that have focussed measures on a range of typically hard to treat property types.
