PP1.1 INTRODUCTION

SILCS

ResultsNumerous barriers continue to impede the improvement of energy efficiency in homes. The

energy efficiency market is still characterised by information failure, numerous convoluted incentives in the energy chain, high subsidies, and disparate processes of measurement and verification and fragmented organisational structures.

The need for strong leadership and greater co-ordination in delivering and sustaining low carbon development projects is paramount. This includes leadership from local authorities with clear and consistent vision, encouraging and enabling partnerships with the private sector and community, through a simplified regulatory approach.

Far greater collaboration is needed through long term proactive partnerships between all stakeholders. The challenges we face need us to work holistically and at scale, to develop the evidence for what works to encourage and de-risk investment.

The availability of finance to meet the carbon reductions targets is probably the biggest challenge to overcome. Retrofitting existing buildings, particularly public sector housing, is the largest part of the problem for the built environment.

PP1.1 INTRODUCTION

SILCS

Results

Good architecture should always have due regard to the prevailing climate. Passive design principles should always be utilised as a base standard to reduce the reliance on energy consuming technologies.

The requirement to innovate: not just technological innovations but systems innovation and smarter ways of using technology. We need new models of delivery through community engagement; and new models of social enterprise which give the community a sense of ownership and encourage social cohesion.

It is essential to, work with, and engage communities over the whole project life – to understand the “Characteristics of place” - sharing the issues, the aspirations and evolving solutions collectively an collaboratively ensuring the community benefits from the legacy of infrastructure investments such as retrofit and renewables through stimulating local low carbon supply chains.

PP1.1 INTRODUCTION

SILCS

Results

The availability of finance to meet the carbon reductions targets is probably the biggest challenge to overcome. Retrofitting existing buildings, particularly public sector housing, is the largest part of the problem for the built environment. Particularly as life cycle costing techniques are not systematically employed in making long term economic decisions.

Contrary to expectations, this reports findings emphasise that increased capital availability is not necessarily the most important tool in overcoming energy efficiency’s financial barrier. Instead, the solution lies in carefully designed policy packages, and strong political will, open and accessible advocacy and transparent accessible organizational processes. Policy makers should focus on reducing obstacles to the involvement of private and public stakeholders.
