Why Retrofit?

{ "markup": "

Our homes use 35% of the UK’s energy and emit 20% of our carbon dioxide emissions

Improving their energy efficiency not only makes things better for our environment, it makes your home more comfortable to live in and more cost effective to run.

Commitments to climate change targets

{ "markup": "

Under the Climate Change Act 2008 the UK needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050.

To meet the UK's government climate change targets, we must retrofit all homes to an EPC band C standard by 2035. Therefore, one of the key considerations for any homeowner is; How energy efficient is my home?” Housing efficiency is one of the major ways to reduce carbon and give us the best possible chance of meeting targets to help us reduce fuel poverty and make healthier homes.

We are working with the government and industry through new legislation and standards in order that quality improvements are made to UK housing stock. Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is the government’s programme to make UK homes more energy-efficient and is focused exclusively on households with low incomes or living in fuel poverty.
