Abstract
⺠CERT, CESP, Decent homes and Warm Front have not targeted the full extent of private and social homes. ⺠There is a risk that Green Deal will fail due to low consumer appeal and low incentives for investors. ⺠Up to half of the predicted energy savings from whole house retrofits may not be achieved in practice. ⺠Passivhaus is identified as best practice for retrofit, yet there is a lack of skills and components. ⺠Embodied energy in materials and components must be better understood to achieve life cycle savings.
