Local Area Retrofit Accelerator ‘Getting Started Toolkit’
A guide for Local Authorities who want to set up 'Retrofit Facilitation Services' for households in their area.
The Toolkit
This resource aims to simplify that journey, providing a clear route to setting up ‘Retrofit Facilitation Services’ for householders in their area.
Specifically, this online guide supports the creation of sustainable, local markets for retrofit by helping local authorities design, develop and deliver domestic retrofit schemes in their area. The guide offers tools to help you establish Retrofit Facilitation Services, how to support homeowners in energy efficiency upgrades and aid the UK’s carbon reduction efforts.
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.
Home Retrofit
With time running out to keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, upgrading the nation’s homes is one of the biggest opportunities the UK has to reduce carbon emissions whilst tackling the cost-of-living crisis, energy security and levelling up.
Policy & Advocacy
UKGBC works with our members and with policymakers at all levels across the UK to advocate for a built environment that meets the challenges of the climate and ecological crises
