All finished at Great Yarmouth! The secure entry system has been completed, final checks have been carried out and the site has now been cleared away. The retrofit has proved to be very successful, evident in the fact that the tenants haven’t needed to use their heating even on the coldest days.
This is a great step towards eliminating fuel poverty for the residents – we anticipate an 80% reduction in heating demand. Deep retrofits like this are essential if we want to ensure that the UK meets its ongoing commitments to reducing Carbon emissions, and we’re seeing a real drive in the industry to achieve this, as seen in this article: https://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/CLC-National-Retrofit-Strategy-final-for-consultation.pdf
We would be very happy to welcome you to visit the finished retrofit once we are out of lockdown. Please get in touch with us via email (enquiries@beattiepassive.com) or by telephone (01953 687332) if you would like to book a visit.
Many thanks to our partners Enhabit and Oxford Brookes University for their help on this retrofit, and we look forward to seeing how the flats perform over the next year, with continual monitoring carried out by Oxford Brookes University.
