Transferring the Index of Vulnerable Homes: application at the local-scale in England to assess fuel poverty vulnerability
(Elsevier, 2019)
Fuel poverty, or energy poverty, has traditionally been associated with households that cannot afford to keep their homes adequately warm and/or cool due to low income and energy inefficient dwellings. Recent studies show ...
