Retrofit Assessment of Social Housing, North Yorkshire Council
Retrofit Assessment of Harrogate based social stock.
Align have been appointed by the North Yorkshire Council to conduct a comprehensive review of their Harrogate based social housing stock.
The primary objective of this project is to complete retrofit assessments to determine the current energy performance of the buildings, gaining deeper insights into the existing outlook of the stock, and to prepare for future retrofit funding opportunities.
As part of North Yorkshire Council’s commitment to decarbonisation, Align is leading this project to identify structural conditions and recommend remedial works required for the installation of decarbonisation measures.
The Challenge
The challenge at hand is to address the pressing need for decarbonisation in the housing sector. With the growing urgency to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, it is crucial to evaluate the energy performance of the existing buildings. Understanding the current state of the housing stock and identifying areas for improvement will enable North Yorkshire Council to develop effective strategies and secure necessary funding for implementing decarbonisation measures.
