The Benefits of Retrofit
Retrofitting our homes and buildings is one of the biggest challenges the UK faces in our efforts to reach net zero. Many homes aren’t built for purpose, in fact the UK has some of the oldest and worst housing stock in Europe. In fact, 40% of UK emissions comes from homes. Heat is constantly leaking out through windows, doors, and uninsulated walls, making our heating systems work harder for more money and less warmth. We’re paying for wasted energy.
While any home can benefit from retrofitting, older homes usually have more problems. Common issues include damp, condensation, draughts and lack of insulation that makes them harder to heat.
If we retrofitted the majority of homes across the UK, it would make a huge difference in reducing our collective carbon footprint.
