We are thrilled that our project with Built Green has achieved an amazing 0.66ACH on its first pressure test! This is considerably lower than needed for the AECB Retrofit Standard which the project is targeting, saving our client approximately 5kWh/m2.a or 535 kWh per year. š

With circa 27million homes in need of some kind of Retrofit in the UK, there is an urgent demand for scaling up our approach. Greater Manchester Combined Authority has identified a target of 60,000 retrofits a year and as each year passes these targets necessarily increase.

The homes will be super low energy, using natural materials. They will require very little heating and with renewable energy generation, the aim is for them to be as close to 'zero energy' homes as possible, meaning that fuel bills will be extremely low.
