Additional information

We adopted a number of techniques and processes to help us carry out the works.

FutureFit Works Selector Flowchart

To aid surveyors and contractors in the refining of works packages, we created a works selector flowchart that could be taken on site. Used in conjunction with a prepared ticksheet showing what measures should be appropriate for the properties (created using the information from example property surveys), this tool takes the user through each of the measures that can be applied. It follows the energy hierarchy approach alongside trying to achieve the greatest SAP point improvement.

FutureFit Extended SAP data collection survey

For FutureFit we decided to use extended SAP surveys so that more detailed information could be captured. This included diagrams showing the location of the cylinder and boiler to decide whether insulation of the pipe work or replacement of the cylinder were appropriate measures, for example.

FutureFit cost model

As part of the FutureFit project Baily Garner produced a cost model which allowed property information to be inputted to a cost spreadsheet. Calculations could then be made automatically showing the impact of adding or removing certain measures to a specific property in terms of: CO2 saved, fuel bill saving and SAP point improvement.
