Abstract
We all understand the need to decarbonise quickly to hit our net-zero targets but how are UK homes attempting to achieve this goal? 27 million UK homes are primarily heated by fossil fuels, which represents 13% of UK’s carbon footprint. Our homes need to be more energy efficient and sustainable. Perhaps deep retrofit is the solution? The UK cannot build its way to a low-carbon future without upgrading it’s old, cold homes to meet the legal energy-saving targets set out in the 2008 Climate Change Act. What are your thoughts? Could a nationwide deep retrofit programme deliver the required carbon savings?
