Aico recently collaborated with the University of Exeter on a series of guides exploring the use of home sensor systems and how those within the housing sector can see social value from them. Sam Collier, HomeLINK’s Head of Market Intelligence, provided expertise, information and costings for the social return on investment models used throughout these guides.
Condensation, damp, and mould in homes can cause serious health issues, particularly for vulnerable groups. These conditions also have degrading effects on the structure of the building, leading to higher maintenance costs. Action is therefore required to reduce the risks to resident health, and address challenges such as fuel poverty within properties. However, it is important to note that some housing providers might not be aware of the challenges present.
Luckily, home sensors can help tackle this challenge.
