Thermally comfortable energy efficient affordable houses: A review
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5495-1683
Abstract Affordable housing is characterised by its poor indoor environment, thermal performance, and energy poverty. Conditions are expected to worsen because of urban heat island effect, climate change and economic crisis. The poor indoor atmosphere and economic burden can have detrimental effects on occupant health and well-being. This study presents a comprehensive review of evidence-based studies related to thermal comfort, energy consumption and methods used for improvements in low-income households. It was found that energy poverty patterns and methods for efficient use of energy highly depend on the local climate conditions, building stock and specific energy consumption patterns of the occupants. There are few evidence-based studies on thermal performance and indoor thermal comfort of affordable housing in Australia and, therefore, local studies are essential for more targeted policy developments in this area. This could be hampered by challenges in performance monitoring and improvement methods in social housing dwellings caused by the social and economic vulnerabilities faced by the occupants in this segment.
Highlights Poor thermal performance is clearly prevalent in social/affordable housing sector. Published data on energy performance of affordable housing in Australia is limited. Strategies for improvements in thermal performance can vary geographically. Occupant behaviour and local climate is important in selecting countermeasures. Quantitative local studies are required to understand the scale of the problem.
