Home energy retrofit is essential to achieving our net-zero targets in the UK as heating our 26 million homes represents 18% of our emissions. But the market is underdeveloped and needs to overcome multiple, systemic, complex challenges – from rising prices and energy underperformance to poor-quality solutions.
Transform-ER (Transform.Engage.Retrofit) is a game-changing, consortium-led project funded by Innovate UK that’s tacking a systemic approach to tackling retrofit’s biggest barriers to scale.
It’s designed to create a cohesive, industrialised sector that delivers high-performance, cost-effective solutions through a standardised process – enabling one million home upgrades every year by 2030.
There’s a huge opportunity for new companies to demonstrate how they can support new industrialised retrofit system and marketplace with products for modern methods of construction, including innovations for super insulated, modular wall panels.
Join speakers from this ambitious project to discover insights into the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned so far – and how the metals supply chain can become a driving force in a new industrialised retrofit industry.
