Monitoring & Evaluation
To measure the success of the various house systems, we have carried out a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation study over a four year period.
The outcomes of this study will enable us to help assess the project objectives, compare the “as built” performance against the predicted design outputs and obtain tenant feedback.
The Monitoring & Evaluation programme for the Housing Innovation Showcase at Dunlin Drive, Dunfermline is split into two key phases:
- Phase 1 (part 1) – Post Construction & Early Occupancy
- Phase 1 (part 2) – Energy Demand for 1st Year of Occupation
- Phase 2 (part 1) – Energy Demand for 2nd & 3rd Years of Occupation
- Phase 2 (part 2) – Building Envelope Monitoring
- Phase 2 (part 3) – Energy Demand for 4th Year of Occupation & Building Envelope Monitoring
- Review of Energy Consumption – Year 4
The design outputs for all 27 properties are available by clicking on the links to the left.
A comparison of the design outputs against actual measured performance can be found in the Phase 1 (part 1) report.
All homes were built to 2010 Scottish Building Standards with the exception of Plots 18, 19 and 20 which were built to higher sustainability standards.
