Improving the performance of nearly 11 million existing homes will make a much bigger difference to housing energy costs and emissions than an incoming 7-star energy standard for new homes.
Existing decarbonisation measures are often unsuitable for the least efficient homes – failing to improve their performance will trap vulnerable people in fuel poverty.
As the UK warms, the government needs to pay more attention to sustainably and efficiently cooling buildings.
The ratings used to assess energy efficiency in homes throughout Europe are often inaccurate.
Buyers and renters are very rarely told the energy rating of housing, but don’t blame the agents. As it’s voluntary for existing homes, very few are rated, so it’s not a big factor in the market.
Finding out what would motivate people to reduce their carbon emissions can be determined by examining behaviour.
