Yes, we model recommendations at Cotality/Ecofurb on basis of a library of 2000 costed measures whereas EPC recommendations at present are limited to a small subset.

Yes, if HMT provide the upfront funding rather than companies, and perhaps make it portable with jobs/retirement? Looking at my employers footprint a meaningful % relates to home working, and we’re far from alone. Perhaps employers fund the upfront advice plan (eg @ecofurb) and do the payroll admin?

Last day of the consultation on #MEES and #DecentHomes. For the former the main flag for landlords is that EPCs pre #EPC reform (due 2026) are valid ten years so getting homes sorted now could buy time (plus benefit your tenants now). Want advice? Help’s here ecofurb.com/ecofurb-for-...

I’ll avoid a long thread on how Ecofurb does much of what ScotGov finds missing elsewhere, instead here’s a small number of issues - and this is a scoping consultation so fair enough. 2/n

🌍 Meet Helene, climate-conscious #landlord & retrofit professional who turned to Ecofurb for a home retrofit plan she could trust.

💁 Discover how Ecofurb's phased retrofit plan & Knight Frank Finance's advice have helped Helene begin her journey to go far beyond minimum #energyefficiency standards.
Ecofurb - We're here to help landlords decarbonise too! "It's a relatively small investment to make to get the report done... it gives you that baseline understanding that allows you to go out and have informed conversations with contractors." "From start to finish, it exceeded all my expectations". Helene - private landlord - Victorian ground-floor flat "We could do the minimum and get up from an EPC D to a C and leave it there… but we both feel quite strongly that, from a climate action point of view, we should be doing as much as we can." "The report gave us a clear roadmap. Phase one is something we’re acting on immediately. Phase two will happen when we remortgage. Phase three is further down the line." "Doing that first phase of work could actually unlock better interest rates on further lending… I wasn’t expecting to find out anything I didn’t already know, but I came away really pleasantly surprised." find out more at ecofurb.com/landlords

Ecofurb - we're so grateful for feedback like this! "The report was exactly what I needed. Provided me with a detailed analysis of the potential savings I could make with associated investment cost and a phase plan for delivery. The consultation with George was also extremely helpful. He was able to answer all our questions and provided helpful suggestions and explanations throughout. All in all exceeded my expectations." Richard, Reading - 1900s semi-detached

Measurement tends to come in at a significantly higher cost. We’d recommend it if investing in your house, work w various providers, and offer with @ecofurb, and some is now an option with RdSAP10. Perhaps the answer in MEES is to accept more measurement for edge cases? 2/2

Rising #energybills fueling #retrofit interest, but homeowners still prioritising traditional #homeimprovement over #energyefficiency upgrades. Big gap between awareness & action!

👉 Our Home Retrofit Trends Index identifies possible financial & policy solutions: ecofurb.com/home-retrofi...
Ecofurb - The Low Carbon Home Service: Home Retrofit Trends Index (January 2025) Retrofit market context & trends - 62% of homeowners recognise energy bill reductions and saving money as a reason to consider home improvement. 57% recognise this as a benefit of home retrofit. - and while 46% of homeowners are planning home improvements in the next 12 months… - only 32% of these planned home improvements are energy efficiency upgrades so we need to bridge this awareness-action gap

Also Ecofurb! Some price by no bedrooms, some
areas (and Wales’ scheme) are funded, some homeowner pays. I think Welsh scheme shows most promise, with some tweaks. That’s a £500 whole house plan, free to homeowner, with service providers able to offer additional services.

EPC reforms are coming! So if you’re a #retrofit radical or an #energyefficiency aficionado, now is the time to have your say (submit comments here 'til 26/2/25): eu1.hubs.ly/H0fbbC30

We also believe an Ecofurb Plan is much better than an EPC for home energy performance improvements. Here's why.
EPC reforms are coming! But we think an Ecofurb Plan will get you further forward faster on your home retrofit journey. From EPC to Ecofurb (1) We’re welcoming the reforms to energy performance certificates for homes - but we believe that, even with changes, the advice will be too generic for most homeowners From EPC to Ecofurb (2) Every home is different. And an Ecofurb Plan will provide much more granular data, specific to your home, as well as possible cost & installation scenarios specific to your budget and needs From EPC to Ecofurb (3) Also - we connect you with installers you can trust from our network, and oversee their works to get you from ‘advice’ to ‘all done’ faster than you can say Ecofurb!

Which is why we were delighted to be cited as a solution to improving retrofit advice access for UK homes:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Conscious of the confusion around approaches to retrofit, some organisations are moving to improve the advice available to homeowners. Among them is Ecofurb."

Ecofurb was started by Parity Projects and CoreLogic to go beyond energy modelling data for the UK's housing stock & help homeowners, who are financially able/willing to retrofit their homes, to access the expertise needed to get the job done well. And we want to support as many people as we can.
