Abstract:

Key headlines

ETI consumer research highlights issues to address if the UK is to change how it heats the vast majority of buildings
Today fewer than 4% have low carbon heating and 90% prefer gas central heating»Location constrains the heating solutions available to each building and existing buildings have their own constraints
People are diverse, they want different things from their heating (for example cost, comfort, health) – the same solution will not suit everyone
Improve low carbon heating designs so they tackle common problems and enhance home life
Simplify installations so they are more convenient
Enhance heating control so people can value what they spend, get what they want from low carbon systems and factor heat into renovation decisions
