The UK government has confirmed that private landlords in England and Wales will need to ensure their properties achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C by 2030.
The upcoming changes to RdSAP, the UK’s standard for assessing energy performance in existing homes, will bring more accuracy to EPC scoring. Here’s what it means for retrofits.
Discover how archetyping streamlines retrofits for social housing, enabling efficient, scalable solutions. Learn how this approach helps local authorities reduce costs, improve quality, and support net-zero goals.
Retrofitting aging social housing enhances safety, energy efficiency, and living standards—creating healthier, sustainable homes that benefit residents, lower costs, and support environmental goals.
A recent survey by the MCS Foundation shows that, although 43% of UK homeowners plan energy upgrades, most focus on minor improvements like loft insulation or radiators. While helpful, these changes won’t significantly reduce carbon emissions or achieve net-zero goals.
Engaging social housing residents during a retrofit programme is crucial for success. Active resident involvement ensures smoother implementation, addresses concerns, and meets compliance standards.
Damp and mould are persistent issues in social housing, affecting health and property integrity. This blog delves into effective prevention strategies and retrofitting solutions to ensure safe, healthy homes for all residents.
Retrofitting homes offers more than upgrades—it’s a path to better health, comfort, and financial stability. Discover why investing in retrofitting is essential for a healthier, sustainable future.
When it comes to assessing the energy efficiency of homes in the UK, there’s a structured process in place that helps homeowners understand their property’s energy performance.
The UK is facing a climate emergency, and our homes are a big part of the problem. But retrofit isn’t just about reducing emissions—done right, it can dramatically improve people’s health, comfort, and quality of life.
