Cutting home insulation funding will imperil UK’s climate goals, Reeves told Energy firms and charities urge chancellor to avoid short-term fix that could also harm low-income households

Cotality have written, with 60 other organisations, to the Chancellor about proposed cuts to energy efficiency funding. A cut now would undermine quality assurance investment, remediation potential, Warm Homes Skills investment, and projects already underway. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Want to keep up with #retrofit policy proposals? Join us on 30th July: Navigating #DecentHomes and #MEES. We’ll be covering the impacts and ways to manage them - for landlords, loca authorities and lenders events.teams.microsoft.com/event/aab35f...

Heat and Energy Efficiency Technical Suitability Assessment (HEETSA): scoping consultation The Scottish Government is consulting on plans for a Heat and Energy Efficiency Technical Suitability Assessment (HEETSA) to help building owners identify the right retrofit measures. The aim is to pr...

Scotland’s HEETSA proposals aim to create accredited advice beyond #EPCs. Cd guide owners on suitable retrofit and heating systems, intro standards (skills + advice), fill gaps in methods to allow tailoring to household, & perhaps support future regulations. V welcome. www.gov.scot/publications...

What lies beyond #MEES? The social housing sector needs to ask this question now, of policy-makers and its asset data, in order to identify synergies, avoid rework and reduce tenant hassle. www.cotality.com/uk/insights/...

See you at #housing2025 next week? We’ll be there on G9, ready to talk stock analysis, tailored advice, PAS2035, and RdSAP 10.

🎙️New from UKERC's Talking Energy Podcast:
Dr. Jessica Britton chats with Russell Smith of @cotalityuk.bsky.social about retrofitting UK homes - from policy to household action, pace change, and big benefits.

We knew money is wasted due to planning #retrofit delivery in a ‘sustainability silo’, & once we’d built our Asset Manager Workspace to integrate retrofit w/ repairs and maintenance the savings were 👀 . Here’s why the sector needs the synergies, for tenants, taxpayers & targets tinyurl.com/Cotality

The inclusion of #solarPV in #FutureHomesStandard shows lessons learn from the past.
There is more to learn. We’ve reflected on our experience over the past two decades in our #WarmHomes #WhitePaper to identify barriers and how to address them.

Don’t cut £13.2bn warm homes pledge over winter fuel payments, Labour told Charities and experts urge government to honour pledge on energy efficiency as it looks to pay for policy reversal

#WarmHomes support the economy through job creation, cost savings, health, even educational attainment. That’s why we backed this letter with @e3g.bsky.social to urge government to keep its £13.2bn manifesto pledge. Zero & low cost policies set out in our recent #whitepaper can help this go further

Working in the #retrofit, #ukhousing or #greenfinance sector? You need to know what changes with the launch of #RdSAP 10 - due June 15th. Our webinar on June 4th will explain the changes and their impact on different archetypes using insights from our #housing stock model. Register here 👇

It’s in there as an option alongside smart readiness. One seems more appropriate in terms of warm, safe homes not suffering fuel poverty.

Measurement tends to come in at a significantly higher cost. We’d recommend it if investing in your house, work w various providers, and offer with @ecofurb, and some is now an option with RdSAP10. Perhaps the answer in MEES is to accept more measurement for edge cases? 2/2

The political question for EPCs is how much they cost. We saw the strong reaction against HIPs. @linnr.bsky.social may know the original requirement. Our view is different levels of data (and expense) are appropriate at different points. 1/2

Really good article here highlighting the mess the government has created by trying to ensure all rented homes are at EPC C at the same time as reforming the methodology - meaning many properties will end up with a different rating under the new system.

We did reflect on this but determined the analysis remains valid in raising the issues around the transition. The incoming standard is likely to be much lower, as the aim is to improve the coldest, hardest to heat homes.

Responding to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards #MEES consultation? Worth a read if you’re interested in the mapping from old to new SAP C - which we think is critical to the success of the policy www.linkedin.com/pulse/mees-e...

If you want to understand the implications for your homes, the new method is already available in our stock analysis software.

It’s been a while in development but June 15th is now the proposed date for the implementation of #RdSAP10 in #EPCs. Here’s the headlines 👇 1/2
