JUSTHEAT Project

This recent blog post by Project Lead @AimeeAmbrose for @housingevidence provides insight into UK domestic heating transitions and early findings of our oral history work in Rotherham. 'Our changing heating systems: getting to the hearth of the matter' housingevidence.ac.uk/our-changing-h…

Our team are heading to Finland for the World Congress of Environmental History, starting tomorrow! We’re convening a panel on oral history and heating transitions in person with @s_kilpelainen & @KathyDavies93 and online from our UK conference hub with PI @AimeeAmbrose #wceh2024

Thank you to @KathyDavies93 (@CRESR_SHU, @sheffhallamuni) for talking us through archival and oral history research in the JUSTHEAT project, & sharing oral histories collected. This project is looking at the past, the present & the future with the aim of informing energy policy.

This blog by @JUSTHEATproject draws on research from Rotheram, a former coal-mining town, and highlights the social significance of heat; the importance of control and sense of agency to households; and the significance of language around transitions. lght.ly/767go4

We’re excited to be collaborating with @HistoryLabPlus to run Place-Based Histories: an interdisciplinary workshop for early career researchers. Tickets are free & there are a limited number of travel bursaries available. history.ac.uk/events/place-b…

Forget visionary architects, the most significant influence on the design and use of our homes over the past 100 years has been something far more mundane on.ft.com/3Ts0bow

Excellent article in the @FT - featuring comment from our UK team.

Then and now... Beautiful photographs shared by an oral history participant in Stamford, Lincolnshire, UK. 'Me with brothers in front of the fire on Christmas day' and 'mums heating as it is today'.

How were past heating transitions experienced and what can they tell us about making low carbon heating a success? A recent report by @JUSTHEATproject explores this question through research conducted in in the UK, Finland, Sweden, and Romania. lght.ly/bcfil0g

Our research and recently published interim report is featured in this months UK Energy Research Centre Newsletter. A short blogpost by the UK team highlights recent findings from oral history research in Rotherham.

Our latest full-consortium research report outlining interim findings from the project so far is now available online here: shu.ac.uk/centre-regiona…

A short blogpost from the UK team on the apparent inseparability of the solid fuel fire and Christmas in British culture and what this attachment to the fireside might mean for the transition to low carbon heating systems. 6 minute read.

Yesterday I had the joy of presenting our @JUSTHEATproject in annual symposium of Finnish architectural research at @UniOulu. The warm & cozy atmosphere was ideal to present our early findings on oral histories of home heating. @ASUTUT_ARCH @ARCH_TampereUni
