Retrofitting our homes has never been more important than it is today in the backdrop of the Ukraine war and the fuel bill crisis, with 5 million homes at risk of fuel poverty, and the desire to achieve climate change and net zero targets. Professor Glew will provide an overview of how our homes hold a unique place in the solutions to many of the problems societies are currently facing. He will discuss how we are retrofitting our homes in the UK, and what impact this is having nationally and for individual householders. He will discuss his research into the benefits and risks associated with retrofitting homes, specifically looking at what is happening in Leeds and West Yorkshire, and how recent global events have fundamentally changed the economics of making our homes more energy efficient.
He will also discuss some of the LSI’s related research projects, which look into how to standardise the way we measure the benefits of retrofitting on a neighbourhood scale, as well as looking into householder views around switching to low carbon heating in the form of hydrogen and heat pumps.
