Energy retrofit must become embedded into the everyday practices of builders working in the repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) market if we are to significantly reduce carbon emissions from housing and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Policy efforts to develop energy retrofit have not delivered the scale of activity needed to meet climate policy goals. Firms operating in the RMI sector are ideally placed to carry out energy retrofit. However, recent policy initiatives have not served the sector well. Opportunities for improving the energy efficiency of the nation’s homes are routinely missed because they are not planned for. These ‘trigger points’ represent around £11bn of RMI works each year. A policy mix is needed to he...
