What are the gaps between the design performance, and the actual energy usage or other measured performance of buildings?
Background
Following the Grenfell inquiry, MHCLG committed to accelerating building remediation and ensuring building safety. The department is interested in developing its understanding of the drivers of behaviour across the industry, and the benefits and potential risks that technological change may bring. We also have a focus on exploring the issues that affect different housing tenures.
