Sustainability
Transforming our homes - we are committed to improving the energy efficiency of our housing stock and have a longterm plan to ensure all our properties are improved to a minimum of an EPC rated C by 2030.
Retrofit
Retrofit is simply the process of making changes to existing buildings, so that energy consumption and emissions are reduced. These changes should also provide the benefit of a more comfortable and healthier home with lower energy consumption, which also mean lower bills.
It is not the same as renovation or refurbishment, which means upgrading a house but not necessarily reducing its energy use.
