Supply Chain Advice Pack: Low-carbon heating in heritage homes – planning considerations
Introduction
There are approximately 6.5 million traditional pre-1919 buildings, 370,000 listed buildings, 400,000 entries on the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) and there is estimated to be 540,000 homes which are heritage or in a conservation area.
The volume of buildings and their associated carbon emissions are a critical part of the decarbonisation journey and it is therefore essential to up-skill the supply chain on treating older buildings, including homes. This pack explores tips for the retrofit supply chain to make the most of low-carbon heating options in heritage settings. It primarily focuses on the Warm Homes scheme which is based in England. This will be an overview and there are other RISE advice packs on heat pumps, heritage and more for further details if desired.
