2. Why we need to retrofit2.2 Warm Homes = Healthy People
18 to 24oC: No risk to sedentary, healthy people
Below 16oC: Diminished resistance to respiratory infections
Below 12oC: Increased blood pressure and viscosity
Below 9oC: After 2 or more hours, deep body temperature falls

2. Why we need to retrofit2.2 Warm Homes = Healthy People
• Cold housing negatively affects dexterity and increases the risk of accidents
• Children living in cold homes are more than twice as likely to suffer from a variety of respiratory problems than children living in warm homes
• Mental health is negatively affected by cold homes and fuel poverty in any age group
• More than 1 in 4 adolescents living in cold housing are at risk of multiple mental health problems compared to 1 in 20 adolescents who have always lived in warm homes
• Cold housing negatively affects children’s education ‘The Health impacts of cold homes and fuel poverty’: The Marmot review Team. 2011

4. Warm Homes Oldham4.1 What is the Warm Homes Oldham service?
[ ]
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery:Measured good practice; design & installation guidance 18
—14,000 households in fuel poverty in Oldham (DECC, 2011)

4. Warm Homes Oldham4.2 Why establish a new service?
[ ]
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery:Measured good practice; design & installation guidance 19
— ‘Community Budget’ pilot: 1,000 people out of Fuel Poverty
— First of its kind nationally
— Involves local partners coming together to fund a preventative service, they will then share the savings (through
reduced health and social care demand)
— Detailed analysis of health and social care demands impacts
— Results of the project will be reported back to Government who are looking at this as a flagship scheme.
