cross-cutting theme group chairs & technical leads
Standardised methods and regulatory tools for assessing building performance shape how retrofit is funded, delivered and judged. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are the tool that the government uses to set compliance, targets and eligibility, banks use for eligibility and reporting, and residents most commonly use to gather information on the performance of their homes.
The reform and development of EPCs and the engine that will sit behind them, the Home Energy Model, are crucial to improve how current systems reflect real performance and drive better outcomes. Regulations such as Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, Awaab’s Law and the Decent Homes Standard will influence demand for retrofit, and performance levels that are achieved by social and privately rented homes.
This group focuses on ensuring that performance frameworks better reflect real world outcomes and support better delivery. It is engaging with reform proposals, responding to consultations and setting out practical recommendations to improve how performance is defined and reported, and high standards are set.
These groups bring together people who want to shape how retrofit is delivered across the UK.
If you want to contribute insight and help strengthen coordination across the system, we would welcome your involvement.
