Understanding the refurbishment
challenge - workshop
Welcome and overview of the REQUEST project
Stephen Passmore
Development Manager – Low Carbon Homes Team
27th October 2010
Home energy use is
responsible for over a
quarter of UK carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions which
contribute to climate change
Ultimately, by 2050 all
dwellings will need to
achieve an energy
performance rating in the
range of a high EPC band B
to band A if we are to reach
our target of a 80% cut in CO2
emissions across the entire
housing stock
The headline challenge

Energy Saving Trust
• We are the UK’s leading impartial organisation helping people save energy and reduce carbon
emissions.
• We’ve saved £1.5 billion on people’s fuel bills and 140 million tonnes (lifetime savings) of CO2 since
1994.Providing quality assurance for goods, services and installers
Helping local authorities and communities to save energy
Expert insight and knowledge about energy saving
Supporting consumers to take action
Renovation through quality supply
chains and energy performance
certification standards
EU programme supported by
Intelligent Energy Europe
Project duration: 19th April 2010 – 19th November 2012

Project summaryGoal: Enhance the uptake of EPC recommendations and of low carbon renovation measures in residential properties across Europe for all ownership tenures
Focus: easy access for property owners to qualitative EPC recommendations and a reliable quality installer or range of professionals
Objective: provide national and regional EU agencies with a set of tools and techniques to offer to dwelling owners and building professionals involved in residential property renovations
7
Background to REQUESTEPCs: provide information and recommendations about what could be done in a home
Key barrier to action: qualitative EPC recommendations and access to a reliable quality installer or range of professionals
REQUEST strives to address this by:
• Enabling different trades and professions to work together to deliver low carbon renovations
• Motivating homeowners or landlords to invest in property renovations whether in response to EPC recommendations or through other means
8
Key Outputs
1. Establish an inventory of tools, techniques and schemes for promoting access to an integrated supply
chain for low carbon renovation
2. Develop tools & strategies for stimulating &
promoting action on EPC recommendations
3. Development of a new, replicable, mechanism for quality assurance in the delivery of low carbon renovation
4. Test and measure the impact of the theoretical
framework by means of national pilot projects
Key objectives1. UK citizens and landlords recognise EPCs as the starting point
towards improved energy performance of their dwelling, rather than the end point of a mandatory requirement
2. Building trades and professions involved in renovations will be better placed to convert the existing housing stock into low carbon dwellings.
1. employment in the low carbon economy
3. An integrated quality supply chain will lead ultimately to a greater number of renovations being undertaken
4. Improved satisfaction and confidence of the dwelling owner from a quality installation process that is streamlined, simple to use, and “hassle-free”

• 100 craftsmen using the quality standards
• 10 national pilots completed, results analysed to inform theoretical framework
• Quantification of the direct energy and carbon savedfrom the pilots
