项目摘要

Home heating is a major source of green house gases, therefore reducing the carbon footprint of our heating systems is a priority in the context of the climate emergency. This will be achieved through the introduction of low carbon heating systems to our homes, controlled through 'smart' systems which are technologically complex but need much less input from us. Home heating transitions are deeply personal and significantly affect the way people use energy, triggering deeper changes to our societies, economies and cultures which affect our everyday lives in many different ways such as changing our routines, the way we divide labour between genders, the rooms we use in the home, how we relate to each other within families and the kinds of jobs we do. This will not be the first major change to home heating that many of us have experienced. Many will remember the shift from burning coal or wood to central or district heating but efforts to learn lessons from those transitions to ensure that future heating transitions can be fairer and smoother have been very limited. Within this project, we aim to understand how major changes to home heating and heating technology over the last 70 years have been designed, managed and experienced, the many ways they have impacted our lives and what lessons we might learn for the current transition to low carbon systems. We do this through oral history interviews where members of the public in case study locations around the UK, Sweden, Finland and Romania tell us in detail about their memories of keeping warm at home throughout their lives and the ways their lives have been affected by changes to home heating systems and routines. Artists appointed in each country will build exhibitions to show how heating has affected our lives in different ways over time and to start public conversations about a fair and progressive low carbon future for heating. We will work with communities leading, resisting and excluded from heating transitions to assemble a lasting archive of multi-media accounts of lived experiences of heating transitions, illustrating how they impact unevenly yet deeply on our everyday lives. These lived experiences will help put policy makers designing low carbon heating transitions in touch with their consequences for our everyday lives, helping to create a fairer future for home heating where the negative impacts of technological and digital innovation are understood and addressed.

家庭供暖是温室气体的主要来源，因此在气候紧急情况下，减少供暖系统的碳足迹是当务之急。这将通过在我们的家庭中引入低碳供暖系统来实现，该系统通过“智能”系统进行控制，这些系统技术复杂，但需要我们的投入少得多。家庭供暖转型是非常个性化的，它会极大地影响人们使用能源的方式，引发我们的社会、经济和文化的更深层次的变化，这些变化以多种不同的方式影响我们的日常生活，例如改变我们的日常生活、我们在性别之间分工的方式、房间我们在家里使用的东西、我们在家庭中如何相互联系以及我们所做的工作类型。这并不是我们许多人经历过的家庭供暖的第一次重大变化。许多人都会记得从燃烧煤炭或木材到集中供暖或区域供暖的转变，但从这些转变中吸取经验教训以确保未来供暖转型能够更加公平和顺利的努力非常有限。在这个项目中，我们的目标是了解过去 70 年来家庭供暖和供暖技术的重大变化是如何设计、管理和经历的，它们影响我们生活的多种方式，以及我们在当前向低能耗过渡中可以学到什么经验教训。碳系统。我们通过口述历史采访来做到这一点，来自英国、瑞典、芬兰和罗马尼亚各地案例研究地点的公众详细告诉我们他们一生中在家取暖的记忆以及他们的生活受到变化影响的方式家庭供暖系统和例程。每个国家任命的艺术家将举办展览，展示供暖如何随着时间的推移以不同的方式影响我们的生活，并就供暖的公平和进步的低碳未来展开公众对话。我们将与领导、抵制和被排除在供暖转型之外的社区合作，收集有关供暖转型生活经历的多媒体记录的持久档案，说明它们如何对我们的日常生活产生不均匀但深刻的影响。这些生活经验将有助于让设计低碳供暖转型的政策制定者了解其对我们日常生活的影响，有助于为家庭供暖创造一个更公平的未来，让技术和数字创新的负面影响得到理解和解决。
