Net zero retrofit

Stock analysis and assessment

We’ll help to assess all stock data and carry out property assessments to advise and inform our clients as they embark on their retrofit journey. As well as this, we’ll help to align decarbonisation works against existing work programmes, to help cost savings.

Energy efficiency funding

With experience in securing funding from some of the UK’s major schemes, such as WH:SHF (formerly SHDF) and ECO, we’ll help to administer the whole process and provide insight and advice, to ensure all compliance requirements are met.

The construction and housing sectors are firmly behind the UK government in its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. New homes are being designed and built to be net zero compatible.

Nevertheless, it is estimated that even by 2050, 80% of the homes are already standing, having been built when carbon emissions were not considered a priority. Consequently, more than half of currently available homes have an energy efficiency rating of EPC D or less.

This means the real test of our commitment will be whether we can improve the energy efficiency of existing homes. Put bluntly, we need to decarbonise 27 million homes in less than 30 years, which will need a substantial investment in mass-scale renovations to retrofit older homes.
