 Criminology Room B4_*%\n\n*What does the Government Know about Energy Use 
 in Homes? \n\nSpeaker: Jason Palmer (Director\, CAR Ltd)*\n\nCambridge Arc
 hitectural Research has worked closely with the Government's Department of
  Energy and Climate Change for nearly three years. Our Housing Energy Fact
  File draws a line in the sand summarising current progress\, and our mode
 lling work supports controversial policies including the Green Deal\, an
 d National Statistics. What does this work tell us?\n\n\n*Speaker: Martin 
 Hughes (Research Associate\, CAR Ltd)*\n\nOur work for DECC is underpinned
  by the Cambridge Housing Model\, a SAP 2009 based building physics model
  which estimates annual domestic energy consumption for the UK. A single 
 point estimate of energy use must be treated with caution\, because any c
 omplex modelling process is subject to multiple sources of imprecision. W
 e consider potential sources of uncertainty and assess their impact on es
 timates of energy use.\n\n*Are Great Britain's Homes Resilient to Summer
  Overheating?\n\nSpeaker:  Amy Tillson (EngD Student\, Centre for Urban Su
 stainability and Resilience\, UCL\; Research Associate\, CAR Ltd)*\n\nWith
  temperatures predicted to rise in the future\, understanding the ability 
 of domestic buildings to cope will become increasingly important. Using th
 e Overheating Appendix of the Government's SAP2009 model\, I have tried to
  quantify the housing stock's vulnerability to high internal summer temper
 atures in current and future climates. I have tested various adaptation
  methods in order to establish their relative effectiveness as solutio
 ns to the problem.
