External wall insulation on park homes in North Lincolnshire (CP783) (CP784)
- 16th July 2018
External wall insulation (EWI) is an established technology that improves heat retention and energy efficiency. In essence, EWI provides an external jacket to a park home that significantly enhances thermal efficiency. This should improve performance of existing building fabric, ensuring a warmer living space in winter months, and cooler living space in the summer months. A further stated benefit of EWI is improved sound proofing, which can further enhance the living experience of householders.

This project was delivered by YES Energy Solutions in collaboration with North Lincolnshire Council. It had the following aims:
- To establish benefits of external wall insulation (EWI) to households living in park homes
- To identify other potential benefits of EWI installation to park homes, that could be considered in future cost benefit analysis prior to proposed park home treatment
- To determine household satisfaction with the installation process.
- To contribute towards a growing evidence base for retrofitting of park homes to enhance energy efficiency and also longevity and aesthetic appearance of older models.
