With the growing number of students in higher education, the student housing market has been becoming increasingly competitive and diversified. This intensification has led housing providers to supply all-inclusive energy packages (i.e., the inclusion of electricity, gas, and water in the rent cost) to their tenants as a selling point. By connecting the geographies of students and energy, this paper aims to assess the magnitude of all-inclusive energy packages and its effects on students’ residential choices. Based on an online survey distributed to students at Loughborough University (UK), the paper shows that 80% of housing occupied by students is energy-inclusive. These rental commodities are strongly considered by students, particularly new university entrants, in their housing choices, 70% of whom considered all-inclusive rent to be an important factor in their residential choice. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that all-inclusive energy packages are extensively provided throughout the student housing market: from the low-energy efficient houses in multiple occupancy to the newly developed purpose-built student accommodation. Finally, the paper underpins how providing energy-inclusive rent tends to produce energy inequities by shielding some students from being in fuel poverty.

英国学生住房部门“一揽子能源计划”的规模
随着接受高等教育的学生人数不断增加，学生公寓市场竞争日益激烈且多元化。这种集约化导致住房供应商向租户提供全包式能源包（即在租金中包含电、气和水）作为卖点。通过将学生和能源的地理联系起来，本文旨在评估全包能源包的规模及其对学生住宅选择的影响。根据分发给拉夫堡大学（英国）学生的在线调查，该论文显示，学生居住的住房中有 80% 是包容能源的。这些出租商品受到学生，尤其是大学新生在选择住房时的强烈考虑，70% 的人认为全包租金是他们选择住宅的重要因素。此外，事实证明，整个学生住房市场都广泛提供全包式能源套餐：从多用途的低能效房屋到新开发的专用学生宿舍。最后，本文通过保护一些学生免于燃料贫困来支持提供包含能源的租金如何倾向于产生能源不平等。
