Making homes warmer and greener
Making it happen
The UK government has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. This means looking for ways to reduce non-renewable energy usage through cost-effective methods, both short-term and long-term. The decarbonisation and retrofitting of UK homes is one of the key ways of achieving this goal, but how do we go about it?
This year’s Consumer Congress involved discussions on the issues identified in the NCF’s position paper which addresses the challenges of affordability, funding, skills availability and motiving consumers to act.
There is more information on the NCF 2023 Congress Net Zero Homes page.
Here’s a quick tour of the exhibition:
