Abstract

This technical report examines the fabric performance of the Vector V1 studio, built by Vector Homes, and tested under controlled conditions at the Energy House 2.0 research facility at the University of Salford.

The aim was to evaluate the performance of the Vector V1 studio and identify any discrepancies where the fabric performance did not align with the design intent, commonly referred to as the performance gap. The performance gap represents the difference between the design expectations (often established through the Standard Assessment Procedure) and the actual measured performance.
