How we helped
We created a database of all the ongoing energy efficiency programmes available in the region, including national programmes accessible to councils and options for homeowners or landlords.
Public EPC report data was used to build a detailed picture of domestic properties in the region and their potential for retrofit. We conducted over 30 interviews with stakeholders across academia, industry, and education providers – capturing the obstacles for achieving this ambition.
We consistently consulted with the GCR’s Expert Advisory Group: academics, housing developers, Scottish Government representatives, senior local authority figures, and other key parties.
To deliver the work, we leveraged our network of industry contacts.
edenseven analysed the EPC data and explained trends on the property makeup of the region. Turner and Townsend also supported by bringing their experience in delivering energy efficiency projects to Expert Advisory Panel workshops.
The funding options had to account for important considerations that come with a large-scale programme that deals with the homeowners and tenants directly, striking a fine balance between the incentives offered by government grants and the need for public buy-in.The stakeholder interviews and our own experience informed three scenarios that reflected different options for increasing domestic energy efficiency levels.
