Brief Description of Requirement

This research will support policy work by addressing three clear knowledge gaps:
- Gather quantitative as-built evidence of the airtightness of the UK housing stock to understand the baseline and to improve targeting of retrofit and overheating policies.
- Gather evidence to support an update to the "n/20" rule of thumb that is used in the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) to link airtightness to infiltration, the model that assesses compliance with buildings regulations.
- Gather qualitative in-use evidence of construction and operational practices relating to airtightness such that better energy efficiency of buildings can be targeted through airtightness measures, both in new construction, retrofit of the existing stock and subsequent operation of any dwelling.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.
