The performance of households depends on a number of factors such as <strong>the</strong> performance of <strong>the</strong> installed<br />
heating system and building envelope, climatic conditions, behavioural characteristics (e.g. typical<br />
indoor temperatures) and social conditions (e.g. fuel poverty meaning that not all <strong>buildings</strong> are used at<br />
maximum capacity). Despite different improvements in, for instance, heating systems, <strong>the</strong>re is still a large<br />
saving potential associated with residential <strong>buildings</strong> that has not been exploited. These technologies<br />
are easily implemented in new <strong>buildings</strong>, but <strong>the</strong> challenge is mostly linked to our existing stock which<br />
forms <strong>the</strong> vast majority of our <strong>buildings</strong>.<br />
