Home Energy – INCH Architecture and the University of Stirling

Home Energy is a new exhibition from the University of Stirling, in collaboration with INCH Architecture and Design.

This exhibition explores findings from a two-year research project that used sensing technology to assess how existing housing can be retrofitted to meet new Scottish Government energy standards. 

Sensors were installed in eight apartments to monitor light, temperature, humidity, air quality and energy consumption before, during and after energy-efficiency improvements were made. The objective of this study was to establish the technical and financial viability of a fabric first approach to retrofit to meet forthcoming Scottish Government EESSH2 requirements.

INCH Architecture + Design is a dynamic, innovative, social enterprise architecture, design and research practice founded in 2012 in Glasgow. We work across a diverse range of fields with a focus on social and community enhancement. We strive to create architecture which benefits communities and increases peoples enjoyment of the built environment. We place an emphasis on inclusivity delivering high quality design for all.

This exhibition was funded through the Social Sciences Impact Accelerator Account.
