This week, we look at a Committee on Climate Change (CCC) report by Element Energy and University College London published in August. The report assesses solutions to lower the UK’s hard-to-decarbonise housing stock emissions, focussing on reductions from space heating and hot water through heating technology upgrades and energy efficiency improvements.
Heating technology upgrades included installation of electric, hybrid and shared heating whilst energy efficiency improvements varied from wall insulation and ventilation measures to window and door replacement.
