80% of houses that will exist in 2050 have already been built but, with the oldest building stock in the world, England’s homes are not currently fit for a safe, healthy and comfortable future. HCCSP is working to help increase the speed that we all take action to meet our health, wellbeing and sustainability ambitions
Over 60% of domestic homes in Hertfordshire are classed as yellow (EPC D or below) and more than 60,000 homes are living in fuel poverty. Improving buildings improves quality of life, can reduce energy bills and can even increase the value of the property.
Hertfordshire is proud to be the first pilot location for the Local Area Retrofit Accelerator project, funded by the MCS Foundation. This project held three workshops with key stakeholders from across the retrofit system between October and January 2024/25.
As a result of these workshops, a Retrofit Strategy is being developed to capture, support and progress all elements of building retrofit currently progressing across the county, to include and reference work currently underway across public and private, commercial and domestic buildings, skills and trades, supply and demand.
