Fairer Warmth Retrofit Record

This project aims to deliver long-term benefits to Rossendale residents by enhancing understanding and uptake of home energy efficiency measures. Building on the widely adopted Fairer Warmth app created by project partner the Centre for Energy Equality, this project will develop an innovative new feature: a digital retrofit record and retrofit roadmap for each home. 

This project addresses the low uptake of retrofit measures by providing personalised, accessible, and evidence-based guidance. It will counter widespread misinformation and confusion surrounding energy efficiency by offering tailored advice based on property-specific data, including smart meter integration, EPCs, and user-reported information. 

Trained energy champions will ensure that digitally excluded and households in vulnerable situations can fully benefit from the app, offering in-person support with understanding the tool as well as grant eligibility.
