Henley Rise Eco Housing Project What we learned
People love their new homes
“Brilliant! Couldn’t get me out of here, I love it. Absolutely love it.”
I know everyone’s complaining about fuel bills going up, but mine seems to have gone down, so I’ve kept quiet at work. … I can’t complain!” “I keep thinking it’s a big place,
it must take some hea6ng, but I must admit, you can have the hea6ng on for a while and it’ll last for like a day and a half.”
“When we come to view it and sign for it we were just gobsmacked at how nice it were, and the whole estate, cul-de-sac, all the fields and everything. It was like something out of a picture. … I’d never been in a house like this before.”
Henley Rise Eco Housing Development
What we learned
Benefits aren’t being maximised
Wide range of performance
Some exceed expectations, but…
PV: 1800kWh not 2400kWh
Solar Thermal: 600kWh not 1050kWh
Utility company issues
Test each system to diagnose problems
Complete G83 agreements on tenants behalf
Henley Rise Eco Housing Development What we learned
Technologies working at optimal level?
Loss of pressure in solar thermal systems
Maintenance operatives unaware
Lots of isolating switches
How do we spot these problems?
Guidance to customers about expected levels of performance
Extend annual servicing to include diagnostic checks
What we learned
Developers shouldn’t “fit & forget” Installation is easy
It’s someone else’s job
Empty properties at handover
A waste of capital investment?
A wasted opportunity for residents?
Henley Rise Eco Housing Development
What we learned
A user manual isn’t enough

Too much jargon
“They showed us the boiler, and I was like, that is amazing, I’ve never seen a boiler like that in my life, it were like something out of Star Wars.”
User friendly reference documents
Increased 1:1 instruction
A point of contact
