impact · verbatim

Claim 9 clm-d97b0844636da85f quantitative
the heat pump at the Ernest Dence estate would cut heating emissions by 47% while raising running costs by 19%
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The appraisal estimates a 47% saving in emissions from heating and hot water and a 19% increase in operational cost from the switch to the heat pump.
Caveat
A modelled estimate using the 2018 grid carbon intensity; the appraisal expects the saving to grow as the grid decarbonises.

Claim 10 clm-e2572da30387f890 descriptive
Its energy-management system met the same trade-off: run to minimise cost, it favoured the gas boiler and its modelled emissions rose rather than fell.
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The appraisal's scenarios give 203 tonnes of CO2 a year for the baseline and 371 to 381 tonnes under cost-minimising strategies, which it characterises as boiler-led.
Caveat
These are case studies of the system's behaviour, not a record of how it was run.

What the mapping says
The retrofit case study gives 95 dwellings at Ernest Dence and 172 at Flamsteed; the final appraisal counts smart-parking sensors in 46 bays.

Claim 15 clm-316206ef17bd71b8 descriptive
without storage, the evaluators found, choosing between cost and carbon came down to running the boiler or the heat pump
Published field
lesson · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The appraisal concludes that, due to a lack of alternative storage options, minimising cost or CO2 came down to a boiler-led or a heat-pump-led strategy.

  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
