Full & Part Funded Social Housing Decarbonising & Retrofitting Experts

Retrofitting buildings involves upgrading existing structures to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This process includes installing modern technologies, such as external wall insulation and energy-efficient systems, to improve a building’s environmental performance without requiring a complete reconstruction.

We are experienced in delivering fully and partly funded energy efficiency programmes for social housing providers and our team are conversant with funding streams that can be used to deliver or enhance a scheme including SHDF2 and ECO4 funding.

We are aware of the challenges and restrictions around ECO4 funding and what measures it applies to within a given project. Our team have successfully managed several projects with ECO funding to maximise the draw down of funding and minimise client obligation.

Our PAS2035 and Trustmark accredited systems provide a fully transparent paperwork trail to ensure demonstration of compliance of each measure with Trustmark in adherence with funding stipulations.

Our decarbonisation specialists continually monitor changes in available funding from both government and private sources that can represent considerable contributions to a scheme. In addition to Government and Energy Provider funding we work with an established private partner who specialises in climate change investment to accelerate the transition to net zero. This has proven to be an excellent alternative for our clients; we have used a Bell fund for our clients to draw down the money needed to bring their properties up to EPC bands A-C since early 2022.
