Currently, the UK’s 30 million homes account for more than 21% of the country’s total carbon emissions, with three-quarters of this coming from heating systems. 85% of UK homes are on the gas network, using fossil fuels and producing large quantities of carbon emissions. Retrofitting our homes to use low carbon heating systems is a major challenge which we must address to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
- This panel discussion will explore:
- Growing retrofit from localised projects to a national programme
- Developing and upskilling the supply chain
- Tackling multi-occupancy buildings and social housing
- The insulation challenge and increasing energy efficiency
