Abstract

To achieve UK Net Zero targets by 2050 whole house energy system retrofits need to delivered across the 29.8 million existing homes in the UK. Significant financial input is required as well as close collaboration and communication between all stakeholders to enable a high-quality transformation. The Low Carbon Built Environment Team at the Welsh School of Architecture at Cardiff University have delivered more than 40 whole house energy systems over the past 15 years collaborating closely throughout the decision-making process with a broad range of stakeholders including residents, social landlords, local authorities, designers, manufacturers and installers. This paper presents key lessons learnt associated with different challenges faced when undertaking whole house energy system retrofitting relevant to building service engineers to achieve the urgent targets set.
