This demonstration hosted by the Vale of White Horse District Council at Drayton, Oxfordshire, examined the type of building and occupancy pattern most likely to benefit from the installation of the current range of gas-fired condensing boilers. Specifically, the aims of the project were to examine the variations in space heating and domestic hot water load and the effect of building fabric insulation on these loads. The project also examined some of the sociological factors contributing to energy use and the economics of condensing boiler systems in smaller fairly well insulated housing.
