Enhanced Environmental Impact

Energy Efficiency and Transition

Achieving high standards of energy efficiency for new build and retrofit housing, whilst exploring strategies for new technologies and energy storage.
Setting Targets and Reducing Emissions

Households are a major emitter of greenhouse gases. Today, we are delivering energy-efficient new build homes with minimum EPC B ratings.

For existing retrofit properties, we target minimum EPC C ratings with an ambition to increase this where possible.

By adopting this approach, we aim to achieve or exceed expectations for the energy efficiency of domestic and social housing.

Retrofitting Across Portfolios

We have a programme of retrofit and installation of energy-efficient measures across a number of homes. This includes the installation of solar panels and the introduction of heat pumps to replace gas-fired boilers. 

Our ambition is to undertake more of this work over time, with a focus on those properties with the lowest energy efficiency.
