Decarbonising Heat in the Home – going beyond Heat Pumps

As every home is unique, what low carbon solutions are required to retrofit the 29 million homes?

Cambridge Cleantech, pjb Associates and Retrofit Works are once again teaming up to bring you the best of cleantech in order to achieve sustainable homes.

In this webinar, we will be discussing the importance of retrofitting the millions of UK homes effectively and in an affordable, scalable manner.

Our homes are as unique as their occupant(s). One of the key difficulties of improving the energy efficiency of your home is that, as for many other areas, one size does not fit all.

Around 85% of UK homes are currently using gas central heating. The remaining 15% of homes (4 million) are not connected to the gas grid, using either oil or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as their main heating fuel or electric heating. But the UK Government has to meet its legal Net Carbon Zero targets by 2050 and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Air source heat pumps will only form part of the solution. Other new innovations are emerging and we are here to explore them with you.

Experts, SMEs, academics, investors, students, or curious... come and join us for our next Sustainable Smart Homes webinar!

The Sustainable Smart Home SIG primarily looks at the UK market and its 27 million homes, many of which will require deep retrofitting and installation of renewable energy services, in order for the UK to meet its legal Zero Carbon targets by 2050.
