This session focuses on the groundbreaking modelling techniques developed under Ofgem’s Energy Redress (ER7) scheme to assess energy savings, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. Learn how these models were built, what they reveal, and the barriers to scaling solutions. Be part of the conversation driving measurable, replicable change in retrofit and housing sustainability. Featuring the voices of:

They are involved in sustainability advocacy and best practice guidance, including the Innovate UK funded Transform-ER project and LETI (a key contributor to the Climate Emergency Retrofit Guide), and regularly speaks on sustainable construction and community-led development
Lizzy Pettitt - Sustainability Advisor, KLH Sustainability
Lizzy Pettitt is a Sustainability Advisor and Chartered Engineer with experience across a wide range of complex buildings, from decarbonising food factories to unlocking retrofit for blocks of flats. Lizzy has a background in mechanical engineering, with experience working for an MEP contractor on a live construction site. She qualified as a Passivhaus Designer and transitioned into sustainability consultancy to influence design decisions at an earlier stage, and how they impact energy consumption, embodied carbon, and occupant comfort.
Lizzy is committed to supporting emerging engineers, serving as Chair of CIBSE YEN London and Vice-Chair of the CIBSE Knowledge Generation Panel, where she helps shape future industry guidance. She also volunteers with the Royal Academy of Engineering, engaging A Level students to explore innovative ways to heat City churches using waste heat sources.
