This project looked at the opportunities and barriers, in terms of finance and energy efficiency, for the refurbishment of private housing in large-scale contracts. The project uses Bristol as a case study. The intended audience for this work is investors, contractors and local authorities interested in the economies of scale for large refurbishment contracts. The method encompassed developing baseline house types; selecting the most appropriate refit options available; modelling the energy and carbon savings using NHER SAP software; and feeding in cost estimates provided by partners.
