Our focus is on enabling proactive homeowners to retrofit their properties, a vital step towards our national goal of net-zero emissions. With this platform, local authorities can drive sustainable change, creating a future where every home is energy-efficient . By navigating through this easy-to-use microsite, local authority officers should understand the process of what’s involved in setting up a retrofit scheme to meet these goals.
