Dataset for article "A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK"

This study employed dynamic thermal simulation models for 32 housing archetypes representative of solid-walled homes in the UK to calculate the heat loss and sensitivity coefficient per building fabric feature, after which a metric Heat Loss Sensitivity (HLS) index was established to guide the selection of retrofit features for each archetype.The 32 baseline DesignBuilder archetype models developed in this study are provided here.本研究针对英国实心墙体住宅的32类典型住宅原型（housing archetypes），采用动态热模拟模型计算各建筑围护结构（building fabric）构件的热损失与敏感性系数；随后构建了热损失敏感性（Heat Loss Sensitivity, HLS）指标，用于指导每类原型的建筑改造构件选型。本研究开发的32个基准DesignBuilder住宅原型模型已在此提供。
