    Area of Science:

    • Building Energy Efficiency
    • Government Initiatives
    • Health Sector Management

    Background:

    • The Department of Health (DH) and National Health Service (NHS) have sponsored initiatives like ENCODE 1 and 2 since 1985.
    • These initiatives provide comprehensive government documents on energy efficiency in buildings.
    • User feedback and evaluation are crucial for the ongoing effectiveness of these programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the reception and impact of DH/NHS energy efficiency initiatives (ENCODE 1 and 2).
    • To identify areas for improvement, particularly regarding structured use of ENCODE software.
    • To inform future developments and training based on user feedback.

    Main Methods:

    • User surveys conducted in 1988 to gather feedback on ENCODE 1 and 2.

  • Evaluation and training sessions conducted by SETRHA and South East Kent Health Authority.
  • Analysis of user feedback to inform revisions and future developments.

    • Main Results:

    • ENCODE 1 and 2 have received favorable reactions and are recognized as key resources for energy efficiency in buildings.
    • Training sessions highlighted the need for a more structured approach to ENCODE software usage.
    • Feedback is actively being incorporated into ENCODE revisions and the development of new tools.

    Conclusions:

    • DH/NHS sponsored ENCODE initiatives are valuable resources for energy efficiency in buildings.
    • Structured training and user feedback are vital for optimizing the use and effectiveness of ENCODE.
    • Continued development, including software revisions and new systems like ENMATS, is planned.
