Overview:
Don't lose hope if you live in a Victorian gem: deep retrofitting and a heat pump can reduce your energy consumption by up to 75%.
Domestic property energy consumption equates to 14% of all UK carbon emissions, and older buildings can provide us with more flexibility to adopt appropriate solutions. Building regulations are designed to allow us to retrofit appropriately. In good authorities regulators are even prepared to abandon data and be flexible
