Resolve data poverty to combat fuel poverty

Housing Providers

White Paper

The cost of living crisis caused by soaring energy prices, high inflation and wage stagnation is affecting households all over the UK and is predicted to push millions into fuel poverty this winter.

Faced with this challenge, it is vital that social housing providers maintain focus on the strategies and approaches that have made a difference in the past decade: identifying and prioritising the right homes, and the right improvements, to deliver maximum impact within available budgets. Yet this seemingly simple process is made complex by the lack of accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date data available on social homes. Every stage from strategising, to bid writing, to execution, is reliant on a quantity and
quality of data that the EPC register, and its 10-year-old methodology, is unfit to supply.

Collecting more data, updating out-of-date databases and calibrating for accuracy are three simple but critical steps to reversing this situation. A comprehensive and accurate view of the efficiency and environmental profile of a property portfolio is now a vital tool in the fight against both climate change, and fuel poverty.
